Social Bond Investing

Description

Social bonds are debt instruments whose proceeds fund projects with a social purpose. These seven PDF lessons start by explaining what makes them different from other bonds, then present a social impact framework for judging real-world benefits.

You review the types of social bonds and how they are structured, assess the risks, and put together a first portfolio. The last lessons describe the practical steps to buy social bonds and how to monitor and evaluate your holdings. Tables and a couple of exercises in the PDFs summarize key points. Each lesson explains the terms used, so no earlier bond knowledge is needed.

Who it is for: investors who want to understand social bonds and consider adding them to a portfolio.
