Bond Basics (60-minute CPD)

PIMCO’s Market Intelligence series aims to help you expand your knowledge of fixed income and the global markets through several easy-to-follow educational series. Each series is endorsed by the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) for structured CPD, and provides engaging tools to help guide your conversations with clients.

If you are new to bonds or looking to refresh your knowledge, Bond Basics is the place to start. It covers the fundamentals including what bonds are, the different types available and how they generate returns for investors.

In Series 1 you'll learn 5 core thoughts encompassing the basics of bonds within the market. We'll start by defining bonds and get you familiar and comfortable with discussing them with clients. By the end of the series, you'll have explored how bonds generate returns, play a role within a diverse portfolio and the multiple factors that can impact a bond's performance.
