Investing Unscripted 119. Jason is Buying a Bunch of Bonds
Often, when we think about the parts of investing, we think about the years we are growing wealth, and the years we are spending it. But there's an in-between period when long-term goals turn volatility into risk and can see a few bad months derail decades of careful planning and success. In this week's show, Jason explains to Jeff how he's making changes in his portfolio to start lowering the risks that the market's whims upend his family's financial planning as retirement becomes more of a near-term reality than some distant goal.

**A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The [6.9%] yield is the average annualized yield to maturity (YTM) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of [8/28/2024]. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond’s YTM is “locked in” when the bond is purchased. Your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTM is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTM of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity, or if the issuer calls or defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule at https://public.com/disclosures/fee-schedule.
Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. You should evaluate each bond before investing in a Bond Account. The bonds in your Bond Account will not be rebalanced and allocations will not be updated, except for Corporate Actions.
Fractional Bonds also carry additional risks including that they are only available on Public and cannot be transferred to other brokerages. Read more about the risks associated with fixed income (https://public.com/disclosures/fixed-income-disclosure) and fractional bonds (https://public.com/disclosures/apex-fractional-bond-disclosure). See Bond Account Disclosures (https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account) to learn more.
