Do You Own Bonds In Your Investment Portfolio?

Wealth Decisions by Brian

This is Brian, and you're listening to Wealth Decisions, where we turn complex financial concepts into actionable strategies for your financial freedom.

Did you know that some of the wealthiest investors in history made their fortunes not from stocks, but from bonds? In today's episode, we're diving deep into why bonds matter more than ever in today's market, especially if you're approaching retirement. Stay tuned to learn how you could potentially earn attractive yields while protecting your wealth from market volatility.

Today, we're tackling a question I get all the time from clients: "Brian, do I really need bonds in my portfolio?" And let me tell you, in today's market environment, this question is more relevant than ever.

As you get closer to retirement, you have less time to recover from major market downturns. This is where bonds come in, providing three crucial benefits:

1. Income Generation: Unlike stocks, bonds provide predictable income through regular interest payments, called coupons. Imagine getting a paycheck every six months, regardless of what the market is doing.

2. Capital Preservation: When stock markets tumble, high-quality bonds often maintain their value or even increase in price as investors seek safety. This negative correlation with stocks is like having insurance for your portfolio.

3. Volatility Reduction: Bonds typically fluctuate less in value than stocks, helping you sleep better at night knowing your retirement savings aren't on a roller coaster ride.
