The Sterling Bonds and Fixed Income Handbook

Description

The Sterling Bonds and Fixed Income Handbook aims to fill the knowledge gap for sterling-base investors and their advisors. Whilst investors in the equity markets can rely on numerous resources to select stocks and build portfolios, there is little information available for those who wish to buy bonds. This book takes the reader through the key features of gilts and sterling corporate bonds and offers a practical guide to putting money to work in this important and profitable asset class.

Mark Glowrey is Head of Retail Bond Sales at Canaccord Genuity. Prior to this, he spent over a decade as a director of Stockcube Research Limited, a leading independent analysis company. Mark has over twenty-five years’ experience of trading securities and advising institutional customers, starting his career as a dealer on the floor of the London Stock Exchange in the early 1980s before moving on to specialise in fixed income securities and treasury products. In 2005, he launched Fixed Income Investor (www.fixedincomeinvestor.co.uk), a resource for private investors in the sterling fixed income market. Mark has also contributed to many well-known investment websites and publications over the years including the Investors Chronicle.
In his spare time, he can generally be found on the water, up a hill or occasionally under a paraglider.
