UNEXPLORED REALM OF EXCHANGE-TRADED BONDS
October 2016, Financial Advisor
Unknown to most investors, generous sources of investment-grade income can be purchased just like stock. Most of these so-called $25 Baby Bonds are senior unsecured debt, exactly like more familiar $1,000 corporate bonds. Some issuers are big-name firms, including GE, Goldman Sachs, and eBay. The key is to get into them below par so if they are called, investors don’t lose money. Trump’s election, which sent yields up and bond prices down, provided such a buying opportunity.
