There are various types of bonds to choose from, including bonds issued by a variety of government entities and industries, including:

• Federal government bonds
• Provincial government bonds
• Municipal bonds, which are bonds sold by a city
• Government agency bonds
• Corporate bonds

Some investors choose to buy bonds that mature and pay interest on differing schedules – this is known as bond laddering, and it can help an investor reduce the impact of changing interest rates. It may also mean more time spent managing your bonds, so discuss those options with your Obsidian Financial Group advisor to determine whether it's time to add bonds to your investment strategy.
