      Introduction

      Why invest in bonds? What are the main advantages and disadvantages? How do you generate income with bonds? This book collects the know-how and knowledge needed to solve the main questions on the subject.

      Bonds have always been a privileged investment instrument for many economic operators. They provide liquidity to companies and government organizations, while offering certain returns to households and investors who want to stabilize their portfolios in the long term.

      Obviously, there is also the possibility of trading bonds in a speculative sense; for example, by buying bonds already issued on the market, which for various reasons have suffered a discount compared to the issue values. On the other hand, when we talk about speculation, we expose ourselves to market risks and the possibility of making significant profits or losses.

      Then there are different methods of indirect investment in the bond market, such as ETF funds and derivatives, which take these financial instruments as underlyings.

      These are interesting opportunities that it is important to know about, although they are aimed at operators with considerable experience in the markets and a high risk appetite.

      Discovering the basic concepts outlined above means learning methods for correctly valuing a range of bond assets, thus gathering skills that can be useful for those who want to consciously invest their money.

      This guide was created to explain in a simple and accessible way how to value an investment in bonds, what are its substantial characteristics and what are the possible operational uses.

      The idea is to offer non-professional investors the keys to interpretation on the subject, which can on the one hand facilitate the selection
