Why consider investing in bonds?
There are numerous investment choices out there - but what’s right for you, now and into the future?
Millions of investors over time have trusted PIMCO, a global leader in active fixed income, to help pursue their investment objectives.
What are bonds?
Well, bonds are issued by governments and companies to raise capital. When you buy a bond, you are lending money to the issuer, who agrees to pay it back at a specific time, and in most cases, to make regular interest payments along the way. As with all investments, bonds also carry some risks, including the risk that the issuer could “default,” or fail to fully repay their debt.
So, what can be the benefits for me, you may ask?
In simple terms, bonds have four main advantages – giving you the potential for diversification, value appreciation, attractive income and capital preservation at an acceptable level of risk.
A key reason many invest in bonds is that they can often offer more consistent returns than equities. They can also help mitigate volatility while serving as an important diversification component in your long-term portfolio.
