Investing in Bonds- what you need to know

For most, bonds are simply a counterweight- something to offset the risk of equities.  Bonds are typically used to keep a stock-focused portfolio sturdy- steadily and predictably headed in the right direction for long returns.  But, bonds can work well for income seekers, and, in the hands of an adept speculator, they can beat the market for long stretches.  Therefore, even though most investors just buy and hold bonds, there is a better way to get extra value from a bond investment.

What’s the right ratio of stocks to bonds?   This  question is usually the first one most investors have when making portfolio decisions.  While many factors such as age and years to retirement should be considered, many balanced fund managers advocate a 60/40 ratio of stocks to bonds for most investors.  With this ratio, investors can generally gain 80% of the stock market’s long-run return but with only a moderate level of volatility along the way.  Whatever your  goal is, you should always split up the bond portion of your portfolio between the different classes of bonds.

Consider the following bond allocation as an example:

• Start with at least 25%  bonds, with as little default risk as possible- this means Treasuries, inflation-indexed Treasuries or highly-rated municipal bonds.

• Add an allocation of up to 65% for bond funds with “economic exposure,” such as those focused on highly rated corporate bonds.  These outperform Treasuries when the economy heats up.  A fund is a better choice than direct investment for most investors, because it offers a level of diversification investors achieve with individual corporate bonds.

• Don’t neglect junk bonds.  They deserve at least 10% of your bond investment.  High yield bonds correlate more closely with equities than with fixed income investments, and their higher yields can compensate when Treasury yields are low.  However, don’t buy direct- funds are the only way to play the highyield market.

The safest choice of bond investment for your portfolio is Treasuries.  Only rarely do Treasuries offer the fixed-income world excitingly large returns.  But their issuer, the US government, won’t be going bankrupt any time soon.  In troubled times, that is an important consideration.  For instance, if the US government’s debt grows to an amount in which lenders consider is too large to conceivably be able to pay back.

The advantage with bond funds is that they simplify your investment.  Writing a check to a fund company takes less effort than buying individual bonds and can, for some investors, be worth a small annual fee.  Many financial people criticize bond funds, though, because few bond funds feature a single maturity date.  This reason is most fund managers buy and sell to take profits or pounce on perceived bargains.  This means that there is no way to guarantee the return of your capital in full on any precise date.  This is obviously a disadvantage, that can’t be overlooked for some, as this is one of the key reasons investors buy bonds in the first place.  However, the only way to totally guarantee stability of principal is to buy individual bonds at issue and hold them to maturity.

Fixed Investment $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Fixed investment in economics refers to investment in fixed capital, i.e. tangible capital goods (real means of production or residential buildings), or to the replacement of depreciated capital goods which have been scrapped. Thus, fixed investment is investment in physical assets such as machinery, land, buildings, installations, vehicles, or technology. Normally, a company balance sheet will state both the amount of expenditure on fixed assets during the quarter or year, and the total value of the stock of fixed assets owned. Fixed investment contrasts with investments in labour, ongoing operating expenses, materials or financial assets. Financial assets may also be held for a fixed term (for example, bonds) but they are not usually called fixed investment because they do not involve the purchase of physical fixed assets. The more usual term for such financial investments is fixedterm investments. Bank deposits committed for a fixed term such as one or two years in a savings account are similarly called fixedterm deposits.

Structured Investment Vehicle $70.1 A structured investment vehicle (SIV) was a type of fund in the shadow banking system. Invented by Citigroup in 1988, SIVs were popular until the market crash of 2008. The strategy of these funds was to borrow money by issuing shortterm securities at low interest and then lend that money by buying longterm securities at higher interest, making a profit for investors from the difference. SIVs were a type of structured credit product; they were often from 1bn to 30bn in size and invested in a range of assetbacked securities, as well as some financial corporate bonds. SIVs had an openended (or evergreen) structure; they planned to stay in business indefinitely by buying new assets as the old ones matured, with the SIV manager allowed to exchange investments without providing investors transparency or the ability to look through the structure. As of October 2008, no SIVs remain. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Barry Bonds $6 Barry Bonds – Kanye West

Norwegian Towns Investing in Tender Option Bonds $100.37 In July 2007, eight Norwegian municipalities invested in complex financial instruments sold by Citigroup through Terra Securities. All eight municipalities were hydro electric power producers and a considerable amount of their tax income was based on concession fees from electricity. To stabilize the volatile income from the energy market, the municipalities sold the future electricity production and invested the present value in the international financial markets. Narvik Kommune, one of the eight municipalities, invested in a Tender Option Bond (TOB) using a Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) as collateral. Only four months after the initial investment, Citigroup liquidated the investment creating a realized loss of 90. The analysis of the TOB and the CDO structure shows that the reason for the sudden drop in the investment value was related to the loss of correlation between taxable and taxfree interest rates causing the hedges to break. In addition, the marktomarket valuation guidelines created by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) did not offer clear guidance for how to valuate illiquid securities such as the TOB and the CDO.

Contrarian Investment Strategies By Dreman, David N. $32.11 In this major revision of his investment classic, one of the premier investment managers introduces vitally important new findings in psychology that show why most investment strategies are fatally flawed and his contrarian strategies are the best way to beat the market. The need to switch to a new approach for investing has never been more urgent. The Crash of 2007 revealed in dramatic fashion that there are glaring flaws in the theory that underlies all of the prevailing investment strategiesefficient market theory. This theory, and all of the most popular investing strategies, fail to account for major, systematic errors in human judgment that the powerful new research in psychology David Dreman introduces has revealed, such as emotional overreactions and a host of mental shortcuts in judgment that lead to wild over and undervaluations of stocks, bonds, and commodities and to bubbles and crashes. It also leads to horribly flawed assessments of risk. Dreman shows exactly how the new psychological findings definitively refute those strategies and reveals how his alternative contrarian strategies do a powerful job of accounting for them. He shows readers how by being aware of these new findings, they can become saavy psychological investors, crashproofing their portfolios and earning market beating longterm returns. He also introduces a new theory of risk and substantially updates his core contrarian strategies with a number of highly effective methods for facing the most pressing challenges in the coming years, such as greatly increased volatility and the prospect of inflation.

Investment Strategy and State and Local Economic Policy $165.95 State governments are ultimately competitors in their economic policies when people, products and capital are free to move across state borders. Nowhere is this competition more apparent than in the United States where individual states compete to promote economic growth by attracting industry with tax holidays, outright grants, subsidized financing and other means. Yet, the arguably greater influence of state fiscal policy on investment decisions has largely been ignored. This book redresses that deficiency by providing a collection of chapters which discuss the theoretical and practical linkage between investment strategy and state economic policy. Specifically, it uses changes in relative state burdens as a measure of state fiscal policy and shows that by altering the incentives to work, save and invest, changes in a states tax burden relative to other states influence decisions on whether, how much and where to invest. The book is divided into three parts. The first section provides the theoretical framework for the book and discusses application of the basic model to explain the persistent differences in observed real income across states; the level of economic activity; and business starts and failures. The second section discusses, among other things, the implications of changes in state economic policy for investments in real estate; common stocks of small capitalization firms; and state general obligation bonds. The third section of the book, which examines the political dimensions of state economic policy, begins with a discussion of the effect of state economic policy on relative population shifts and reapportionment and ends with a proposal for a flat tax.

Offshore jurisdictions are a commonly accepted solution to reducing tax burdens levied in most countries to both large and small scale investors alike. Selected offshore domiciles may serve as havens for tax evasion, money laundering, or to conceal or protect illegally acquired money from law enforcement in the investors country. They also allow legitimate investors to take advantage of higher rates of return or lower rates of tax on that return offered by operating via such domiciles. The advantage to offshore investment is that such operations are both legal and less costly than the solutions offered in the investors country or onshore. Locations favored by investors for low rates of tax are known as offshore financial centers or (sometimes) tax havens. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
