Should Physicians Invest in Bonds?

The Money Meets Medicine podcast explores whether high-earning physicians should include bonds in their investment portfolios. The hosts weigh the pros and cons of bond investments, particularly in the current economic environment. They discuss how bonds may not be effective at outpacing inflation, especially when young in one's career, and the importance of understanding creditworthiness and duration when building a bond portfolio. Justin Harvey highlights the concept of immunization, reducing interest rate risk by matching bond maturities to specific financial needs. The conversation also covers the tax implications of bonds and where they should be held, considering both taxable and retirement accounts.
