#82. Are you overlooking this stellar asset class?
It's easy to be pessimistic about bonds, but they are actually necessary for your portfolio.
In this episode, Aaron and Trishul go in-depth on why you need bonds. Despite low rates of interest and their limited ability to outpace inflation, bonds are essential in all but the most aggressive of portfolios. By understanding the mechanics of coupons, par value, credit quality, and duration, you can start to understand why bonds are a sensible low-risk, low-return investment. When stocks tank, there may be a flight-to-safety, which can drive bonds up. But the biggest benefit of fixed income comes during withdrawals, where bonds can mitigate your sequence of returns risk when it matters most.
