Chapter Chapter 8 in Fixed Income Investing, 2022, pp 407-454 from Springer Abstract: Abstract After having been exposed to all the particulars of fixed income securitiessecurity(ies)fixed income and derivatives a natural question is how one could gain access to a portfolio of fixed incomefixed income assetsassets. Institutional investors or investors with a significant wealth could attempt to build such a portfolio on their own, by selecting the appropriate strategy, as described in Chapter 4 . Individual—and in particular retail—investors may not have the ability to do that, as building a (well diversified) portfolio that matches their needs may require the purchase of a significant number of different issues. This may require a capital that exceeds their available budget or wealth. They may thus have to invest in a professionally managed fixed income portfolio/ fund. In this chapter we discuss the composition, structure, characteristics, similarities and differences of the various types of bond (fixed income) funds available to the investors, such as mutual funds, ETFs and private debt funds. We investigate for which investor profile each of these funds is suitable and what investor goals they can be used to match. This chapter helps the reader understand the different types of bond funds. Date: 2022 There are no downloads for this item, see the EconPapers FAQ for hints about obtaining it.
