Halbert Wealth Management Announces Release of “Bonds 101” Educational Video
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- Gary D. Halbert, President and CEO of Halbert Wealth Management, Inc. (HWM) and author of the weekly Forecasts & Trends E-Letter, announces the release of a must-see video presentation for anyone wanting to invest in bonds. In light of the Federal Reserve’s comments about “tapering” its Treasury bond and mortgage purchases, this timely and informative video explains the basics of how debt securities work and what will happen to bond prices as interest rates continue to rise.
The Bonds 101 Video explains in easy to understand terms how bonds are structured and how they react to market forces. While investors consider bonds to be a safe haven if held to maturity, many are not aware of the extent of interim price fluctuations caused by a variety of factors, especially prevailing interest rates. One key chart in the video shows an estimate of how much the price of various types of bonds may fall in reaction to just a 1% increase in interest rates. The results may shock you!

Halbert notes, “It’s one of the few absolutes of investing: when interest rates rise, bond prices must fall and there’s no escaping that reality. The Bonds 101 Video is designed to educate investors about bonds and reveal the risks associated with these supposedly ‘safe’ investments. So far, the video has been very well received and helpful in giving investors a better understanding of how bonds work.”
