Partner Constantine Mulligan was quoted in Retire Ahead about the role corporate bonds can play in a retiree’s investment portfolio.
Retire Ahead, Corporate bonds: Predictable yields provide retirement appeal – In this installment, we take a look at corporate bonds. When you think about a company raising capital, the first idea that likely comes to mind is selling stock, and the second is borrowing money from the bank. But there’s a third way many corporations raise cash: by selling bonds, just like governments do.
When a corporation issues bonds, it is basically borrowing money directly from investors rather than from a bank. The corporation pays a set interest rate on the bond and returns the principal when the bond matures (or sooner in some cases, if the bond is “callable”).
