Bond investments should bepart of your overall portfolio?Comparing to equity, bonds often represent a less volatile investment instruments.Why so?Because Bonds are less likely to fluctuate with the company’s earnings and forecast, and they usually (not all) pays out regular coupons, which is a regular cash flow that investors can expect.Behaviour of Bonds, in araisinginterest rate environment:The coupon of a bond is typically fixed. For example a 3% couponbond,will naturally pay out 3% interest to investors at a regular interval, and at maturity, pay out the face value of $100 as thepprincipalrepayment.In situation where interest rate is raising, for example in today’s environment,the risk-free rate is already around 4%.
