Smart investing in turbulent times.
Dr. Sharma's medical practice is thriving, and she’s looking to diversify her investment portfolio with a $100,000 allocation to corporate bonds. However, recent healthcare policy changes have made her wary of investing in healthcare-related bonds directly. She needs to determine the optimal coupon rate to balance risk and reward, considering alternative sectors and potential credit spread impacts.
Using the Coupon Rate Calculator, Dr. Sharma explores various bond options, comparing healthcare sector bonds to bonds in less volatile industries. She analyzes bonds with different coupon rates, factoring in the current market interest rates and her desired return. The calculator helps her quantify the relationship between coupon rate and bond price, allowing her to make an informed decision. She aims for a coupon rate that provides a yield exceeding her current investment portfolio's return by at least 1%, roughly $3,500 annually.
The Coupon Rate Calculator was used to assess potential returns from different bonds, inputting market price, face value, and time to maturity to determine the coupon rate. Further analysis used the Credit Spread Calculator to assess the increased yield required to compensate for sector risk.
