Mar 1, 2023

Bonds are boring, aren't they? Well, not anymore.

 

Recent rate increases make bonds more interesting than they've been in years. Better, some bonds yield interest that's tax-free, making them a match for many overtaxed physician families.

 

Listen in as Ben and Nate answer questions like:

 

• What is a bond?

 

• How do they work?

 

• How can physicians invest in bonds?

 

• Where do bonds belong in my portfolio?

 

• What risks do bonds hold and how do you manage them?
