You’ve heard about them, you’ve nodded politely when someone mentioned them - but do you actually know what bonds are? And more importantly, should you have them in your investment portfolio? In this episode, we break down bonds in a way that finally makes sense. You’ll learn how bonds work, who they’re for, when they make sense, and what kind of returns you can expect - plus why the word “junk” in finance isn’t as trashy as it sounds. Whether you’re saving for a house, want something a bit more chill than shares, or are just curious if bonds are the grown-up move your money needs - this ep is for you. Spoiler: you might already own bonds without even knowing it.
