76 New Bond Pick Updates: Lock in Near-Historic Yields

Actionable, Just-Updated Picks for Both Basic and Premier Services

With select individual corporate bond yields at or near all-time highs—and long-term US Treasury yields near 19-year highs—investors have a rare opportunity to lock in high, predictable income and capture capital appreciation opportunities. Bondsavvy's 76 newly updated, turnkey bond picks show you which bonds to buy.

To capture these opportunities and build a high-performing portfolio, you need two things:

1. High and Some Near-Historic Yields (The Market Opportunity): Corporate bonds are offering some of the most attractive yields not seen since the recent October 2023 bond-yield peak. If you are sitting on cash or settling for low stock or bond-fund dividends, high-quality individual corporate bonds offer a powerful, predictable alternative.

As shown in Figure 1a, this Amazon bond due in 2047 (CUSIP 023135BJ4) reached an all-time high yield on July 14 of 6.09%. This yield edged the previous high reached on October 23, 2023, when US Treasury yields hit highs not seen in over 16 years, during July 2007.

The Amazon bond yield increase occurred as US Treasury yields have recently spiked and Amazon credit spreads have gone higher due to concerns over Amazon's $200 billion in projected 2026 capex and a related increase in Amazon's debt load.

2. Actionable, Just-Updated Bond Recommendations (The Bondsavvy Solution): Over the past week, we finalized rigorous financial and pricing reviews for all 63 Premier Service and 13 Basic Service bond picks. Every Buy, Sell, and Hold recommendation is current, giving you an immediate, turnkey solution to make successful corporate bond investments. 

Instead of spending scores of hours analyzing SEC filings or guessing which bonds offer the best relative value at today's prices, you get an immediate, actionable roadmap. You can execute these trades with confidence, knowing the underlying research is thorough and fresh. 

Two ways to Lock in Today's High Corporate Bond Yields

Whether you are starting with a smaller allocation to individual bonds or building a more comprehensive portfolio, both Bondsavvy investment services provide highly curated, high-conviction recommendations with active buy/sell/hold alerts.

Bond Yield Ranges of Bondsavvy's Active Recommendations

A smaller bond portfolio allocation shouldn't mean settling for mediocre returns. While our Basic Service focuses exclusively on high-conviction investment-grade bonds, both lists are subject to the same rigorous financial and relative value analysis.

Figure 1c below shows the yield-to-maturity (YTM) distributions for our 13 Basic picks and 63 Premier picks. No matter which tier matches your investment allocation today, you can instantly see the compelling yield opportunities available to you. Of course, we view YTMs as a starting point, as our active fixed income strategy seeks to achieve total returns that exceed a bond's purchase-date YTM.

What Happens When We Update Our Bond Picks

Unlike bond funds that passively hold assets, we regularly assess and update our recommendations. Over time, corporate financial performance shifts and bond prices fluctuate. To maximize total returns, we actively manage our recommended bonds with two core goals:

• Locking in Capital Gains: If a recommended bond rises materially above par (for example, to 115% of par value), it often makes sense to sell and capture the profit before maturity, when it must pull back to 100%.

• Rigorous Capital Preservation: If an issuing company’s balance sheet or cash flows weaken materially with no recovery in sight, we will likely issue a prompt sell alert to protect principal.

Fine tuning bond portfolios is key to maximizing long-term performance. Every quarter, we refresh our entire list with each issuer's latest financial results and each bond's most-recent price, YTM, and credit spread.

Bondsavvy Subscriber Benefit

Moody's and S&P bond ratings do not assess whether a bond is a good value and, therefore, have limited use. Bondsavvy identifies corporate bonds that pay high coupons relative to their risk and offer capital appreciation opportunities.

Beat the Bond Funds: Why Savvy Investors Buy Individual Bonds

Online brokerages such as Fidelity.com, Schwab, E*TRADE, and Interactive Brokers have leveled the playing field for individual investors. When you buy individual corporate bonds online in quantities of two, five, ten, or twenty bonds, you benefit from highly competitive markets and tight bid-ask spreads.

In fact, individual investors can frequently execute trades at prices near or better than the world's largest bond funds—all while avoiding the management fees, undisclosed transaction costs, lack of control, and weak performance typical of fixed-income mutual funds and ETFs. Bondsavvy gives you the blueprint to take advantage of this retail pricing edge. View our corporate bond returns to see our track record.
