Blasting Through The Bond Market

Course overview

The most crucial component of company finance is borrowing. Bonds and the fixed income market require knowledge in order to be understood and crucial funding decisions to be made.

What differentiates bonds from fixed income? Investments with fixed income typically repay capital on a predetermined timetable, however payment amounts may fluctuate. Although individual bonds may be the most prominent and well-known kind of fixed income product, the category also includes bond funds, ETFs, certificates of deposit, and money market funds.

Participants in this Bonds and Fixed Income Course from Training Bee will get a thorough understanding of bond valuation as well as a keen understanding of the international bond and fixed income markets.

Introduction

Bonds and fixed-income investments are a type of debt security issued by corporations, governments, and other entities to finance their operations. They are typically issued in denominations of $1,000 or more and have a fixed rate of interest payment and maturity date. Investors who purchase bonds are providing a loan to the issuer in exchange for a regular interest payment. When the bond reaches maturity, the investor receives the face value of the bond back. Fixed-income investments are attractive to investors because they provide a predictable return, with lower volatility than stocks. They can be used as part of a diversified portfolio to generate income or as a hedge against inflation. Bonds are also relatively easy to trade and can be held in a variety of accounts, including retirement accounts.
