BONDS FOR CANADIANS:
How to Build Wealth and Lower Risk in Your Portfolio

Knowing one’s way around the bond market is essential for investors, but bonds remain a mystery to many. They can provide steady income and safer returns than stocks, but more exotic varieties of bonds can be extremely risky. As the bond market has grown to include bond futures, global bonds, and bond derivatives, the market has expanded and added huge amounts of risk as well as leverage. This book introduces you to all forms of bond investing, to Canadian debt markets and global bonds, the unique risks of bonds, and explains how to manage that risk successfully.
