Learn Bonds

Essential docs before entering fixed-income instruments: understand coupon, tenor, and risk.

Step 1

What is a Bond?

A bond is a debt instrument. When you buy one, you lend money to the issuer (government/company) and receive coupon payments.

Step 2

Bond prices move inversely to interest rates. When rates rise, older bonds become less attractive and prices tend to fall.

Step 3

Start with objective: cashflow or growth. Then choose bond type, check rating, check liquidity, and set your portfolio allocation.
