The last post about the rise in inflation made many people think about, how to protect money from depreciation, multiply them in the long term and at the same time do not get into overvalued stocks.
Many asked to write about bonds. I totally agree, that bonds in the current conditions are the best option for investing free money. Therefore, at these requests, I decided to write about this tool..
Bonds play an important role in a portfolio. In my portfolios they are 45% assets. First of all, it is a liquid reserve of money in case of a decline in the stock market. Secondly, it is a tool with clear and stable profitability, unlike stocks. Many remember, that I increase my investment in stocks, when the market falls, therefore, during such periods, the bond reserve acts as a source of purchase of shares.
Simply put, when the market rises, I increase the reserve from bonds and buy stocks at a minimum. When the market falls, I increase my stock purchases and reduce my bond reserve.
When investing in bonds, first of all, you need to proceed from the key rate of the Central Bank. When it is low, buy short bonds and vice versa.. If the rate is low and rising, then long bonds with a fixed coupon will fall in value. Therefore, you will not be able to sell them profitably., and the maturity is long. AND, vice versa, when the stakes are high and falling, then the cost of long bonds will rise, which only increases your profitability.
Now in Russia the rate is growing and, according to analysts, it will continue to grow. Therefore, I personally buy short corporate bonds with maturities up to 1 of the year.
For that, to find bonds and choose suitable ones, you need a convenient service. I use many services, one of which is Smartlab. If you enter in the search engine "Smartlab bonds", then the first link will take you to the Smartlab bonds section. All bonds on the market can be found there.: OFZ, Corporate, municipal.
At the top you can filter bonds by maturity. I set up 1 years and sort them in descending order of profitability.
Then I go in order through the list from top to bottom., analyzing all bonds, until I find an acceptable option. The analysis is carried out according to the following parameters:
1. Bond liquidity
2. Coupons
3. Elimination of the risk of early repayment
4. Analysis of company reporting
5. Credit rating analysis of a bond
6. Analysis of tax audits, debts on enforcement proceedings
1 - Liquidity (Trading volume) should be sufficient, so that you can buy a bond in the required amount. This can be viewed in the same table on Smartlab or in the order book on the exchange.
2 - It is advisable to choose permanent coupons, to know for sure, what profitability will you get. We also look at the Smartlab in the bond card.
3 - The bond program may provide for early redemption of bonds at par at the discretion of the issuer. If you bought a bond above par and an early redemption occurs, you will lose in profitability. On the Rusbonds website you can see, whether there is an early repayment.
4 - Analysis of the company's reporting is the most important component when choosing bonds, allowing to reduce the risk of default. Briefly, then you need, that the company's equity capital is positive and desirable, so that his share in assets was 30% and more. It is forbidden, so that the company has losses, desirable, so that revenue and profits grow. The profit from the sales of the company should cover the interest payable on debts and preferably in 1,5 and more times.
5 - Don't buy junk grade bonds with ratings below B, ie. SSS and below. The credit rating can be viewed on the websites Dook.ru and Rusbonds.
6 - It is advisable to view the tax audits of the company and debts on enforcement proceedings on the Rusprofile website. If there are many, the company is in the process of tax audit, then this should alert.
Going through all these points, if everything is in order and the yield of the bond suits me, i buy bonds. Seems, that there is too much to watch, but if you fill your hand, then the analysis of the bond takes less 5 min.
The most important thing to know, what to look at, where to get information and just learn this algorithm. I did that in due time and now I buy bonds on it..
