by Ian Bruce

Here is an easy-to-read, non-technical guide to the workings of the international bond market. It shows potential investors, and those who already have a stake in the bond markets, how to assess the potential risks and rewards, offering a simple-to-follow set of criteria on which to base investment decisions. Even the most arithmetic shy will learn how to calculate the yield on a bond and to plan an income-based portfolio. For the more seasoned investor, there are sets of bond strategies laid out so the reader can evaluate holdings and choose a suitable course of investment.
