Description of Bonds - The Other Market

Bonds – The Other Market is a comprehensive introduction to bonds (and the bond market) that is written in a relaxed, non-technical style for ease of comprehension. While intended as a primer, the information presented is also significantly useful to those professional institutional investors who collectively manage investments in the trillions of dollars.

This book covers bonds in general and progresses to bond issuers and the specific kinds of bonds available in the marketplace complete with their individual characteristics. It then discusses bond ratings, factors that affect bond performance, economic and geo-political conditions that affect the markets, the differences between stocks and bonds and their markets, market timing and finally, investment strategies to employ in six different interest rate scenarios. The balance of "risk-reward" is the underlying theme that carries each chapter and topic.

The purpose of this book is to make individual and institutional investors aware that the highly technical and complex bond market, rather than be avoided out of fear or ignorance, is easily within their comprehension and grasp. It is also a reference and instructional resource for those who wish to participate in the world's largest financial market.

Authobiography of George L Fulton

George Fulton has been a professional bond broker for more than a decade. His market niche is the federally regulated and highly complex world of banking where his savvy advice has led to investing billions of these depositories' funds.

Sought after as a speaker throughout the country, George has been asked many times over the years by individual investors, institutional directors, and his own clients for a reference work on bonds. In attempting to fulfill their requests he found that the majority of works available were written for bond professionals within the industry and much too technical for average consumption. Other works, presumably written for the novice, either use industry jargon without clear explanation or become bogged down in detailed minutia of insignificance while ignoring the most fundamental risk-reward equation. He wrote this book to specifically fill that void.

George’s motivations for this work are twofold: to maximize opportunities for both individual and institutional investors while minimizing their risks and to serve as a reference and instructional resource for all who have interest in bonds and the bond market.

George holds the title of Senior Vice-President of Investments within one of the most highly respected institutional bond trading firms in the industry. His credentials include the National Association of Securities Dealers Series-7 and Series-63 registered broker's licenses as well as the Series-24 principal’s license.
