To empower individual investors to benefit from the income, growth, and safety of individual corporate bonds.
BondSavvy empowers subscribers to make successful buy/sell corporate bond investment decisions. BondSavvy narrows the universe of corporate bonds to a select number we recommend to our subscribers. We then monitor our recommended corporate bonds and issuing companies and decide whether to recommend buying more bonds, holding recommended bonds, or selling previously recommended bonds. Our subscribers follow the below three steps when making direct investments in corporate bonds:
BondSavvy empowers you to invest in corporate bonds by presenting the best bonds to buy during The Bondcast, a subscriber-only investment webinar we host after companies report quarterly earnings.

How To Invest OnlineOur goal is to maximize the total return on each corporate bond we recommend. Corporate bond prices have ceilings and cannot increase in value to the extent stocks can. We therefore advocate selling bonds prior to maturity when we believe a recommended bond has maximized its investment return opportunity.

Educating and empowering investors is central to everything we do |
Investors who want income, protection of principal, capital appreciation, and transparency can find all of these benefits with individual corporate bonds. Corporate bonds offer many advantages over bond funds, dividend stocks, and municipal bonds:
With blue-chip companies such as Boeing, Disney, and Ford suspending dividends, corporate bond investing has never been more important. Individual corporate bonds provide investors with income they can rely on, opportunities for capital appreciation, and greater principal protection than dividend stocks.
BondSavvy has built a better mousetrap for corporate bond investing. We combine a proven bond investing strategy with a second-to-none subscriber experience.
With over 23 years of experience in the financial markets, BondSavvy founder Steve Shaw has created an investing strategy that provides subscribers an edge. Key parts of this strategy include:
We recommend corporate bonds that have attractive yields relative to their risk and have the opportunity for capital appreciation and strong total returns.
See our full investment strategyWe make new corporate bond recommendations after quarterly earnings releases and as opportunities present themselves. This enables us to capitalize on opportunities over the course of time.
Learn why our approach beats bond laddersAfter making an initial recommendation, we regularly update our analysis based on new company financial reports and the performance of our recommended bonds
We sell previously recommended bonds when little upside remains based on the financial performance of the company and the price of the recommended bond relative to comparable bonds
When To Sell BondsWe provide subscribers unmatched expertise and objective and unbiased recommendations, which have driven investment returns that have outperformed the leading bond funds and ETFs. Subscribers pay BondSavvy a subscription fee for access to our corporate bond recommendations and updates, and they execute trades through bond trading platforms such as Fidelity.com and E*TRADE. We don’t earn trading commissions and are not a broker-dealer selling you bonds, so we can provide subscribers with unbiased investment recommendations that can outperform the market.
Our sole focus is individual corporate bond investments for individual investors. Founder Steve Shaw has presented to the SEC on the state of retail bond investing. He has also presented his bond investing strategy on Fidelity and E*TRADE webinars and to over 20 nationwide chapters of the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII).
Read Steve's Full Bio HereBondSavvy makes corporate bond recommendations solely on their merits. We conduct a comprehensive investment analysis where we recommend a small number of individual corporate bonds from the 9,000 available. This is different from many traditional financial advisors who recommend bonds primarily because those same bonds are owned by their firm’s trading desk and the firm earns money on the corporate bond bid-ask spread and a juicy financial advisor commission.
Learn MoreBondSavvy has shown how owning a select portfolio of corporate bonds can outperform the leading bond ETFs. Through May 1, 2022, the investment returns of 75% of our exited corporate bond recommendations have beaten their benchmark corporate bond ETF.
