How Bonds Can Make You Money Too! 😲 What Are Bond Investment Strategies Now...

In this tutorial, you'd get a quick understanding on bonds as an asset class.
Bonds vs bond etf vs bond unit trust funds.

Bonds are important for asset allocation in your portfolio.
#assetallocation is more important to you than stock picking.

4 key steps to understand a bond, bond etf or a bond fund
1) Who issued the #bond?
There are sovereign (like Argentina bonds) and corporate bonds (like SIA Retail bond).

2) What kind of bond quality?
How is it rated on S&P.

3) How long is the bond to maturity?
If maturity is near, it is less sensitive to interest rate news.

4) Currency of the bond
Currency is a risk that must be carefully considered. International investors typically buy USD denominated bonds.

In Singapore, there is ABF SG BOND ETF which invest into investment grade bonds in SGD. ABF SG #bondetf is traded daily and liquidity is actually not too bad.

Bankers typically market high yield bond funds because they provide high dividend yields. I'd show you 2 of them to help you understand the risk better.
