Bonds that suit you

Q

I wonder, how does your firm select the bonds on your offering list? It does not seem to be very large or comprehensive. Do you offer these bonds based on their qualities?

James A. Klotz responds:

When viewing our online inventory, you should know that we own all the bonds we sell, which means we extensively research them prior to offering them for sale. Our offerings are predicated on suitability, so we can confidently recommend our bonds to individual investors.

This is a very important point because the majority of brokers displaying bonds online are invariably offering merchandise owned by other dealers. Consequently, they are not able to answer questions regarding the various nuances of any particular security, which is of vital importance to prospective buyers.

Not every item we own makes it to the online inventory. Clients contact our bond specialists every day looking for certain bonds that suit their particular needs, and we invite you to do the same.
