Investing involves a trade-off between risk and return. The greater the return you require, the greater the risk you must assume. And this holds true for investing in bonds. The 'Bonds 102' Skill-Pill looks closely at how we think about risk, and at how portfolio managers handle their bond portfolios.
 
 

Embedded options cannot be traded separately from the bond, unlike an equity option. The embedded options impact the price of the bond itself. These options may be exercised at a variety of dates in the future, by the issuer or by the investor, only if it's financially advantageous. There are a range of options available to suit the investor's needs. View this Skill-Pill to find out more.
