Review
"Andrew Allentuck is one of the premiere financial journalists covering fixed income markets from a uniquely Canadian perspective. His knowledge of the bond market is second to none."
—Randy LeClair, CFA, Vice-President & Portfolio Manager, AIC Investment Services Inc.
"Andrew Allentuck’s new book explains the complexities of the bond market to Canadians in an engrossing and deliciously entertaining manner. Superbly written, Bonds for Canadians is both a blueprint for financial prosperity as well as a delightful and often humorous look at the most misunderstood and idiosyncratic of markets. I wish this book had been around 26 years ago when I began my career."
—Tom Czitron, CFA, Managing Director, Head of Bonds and Fixed Income, Sceptre Investment Counsel Ltd.
"Canadian retail investors are largely in the dark on how bonds work or how to incorporate them into their investment strategy…That is, until now. Deconstructing what is often considered the most cerebral of financial markets, Mr. Allentuck provides an engaging, entertaining and anecdote-laden account of what bonds are, how they work and why they matter more now than ever. This is the sort of book that every serious retail investor should carry around, dog-eared and rolled, in his back pocket."
—Martin Cej, Investment Editor, The Globe and Mail
"Bonds for Canadians shows how to escape the roller-coaster of risks of the stock market while generating a tidy fortune for retirement. It’s an important contribution to financial planning."
—Daniel F. Stronach, Registered Financial Planner, President, Stronach Financial Group Inc.
More Praise for Bonds for Canadians
"In the midst of the most important secular shift in investing in several generations, a majority of Canadian retail investors are still stumbling blindly, unable to identify, analyze or manage what should be the cornerstone of every successful portfolio: bonds. Whether a failure of the mainstream financial press, or an unwillingness on the part of bond-market professionals to throw back the curtains on their own machinations, retail investors remain largely in the dark on how bonds work or how to incorporate them into their investment strategy.
That is, until now. Deconstructing what is often considered the most cerebral of financial markets, Mr. Allentuck provides an engaging, entertaining and anecdote-laden account of what bonds are, how they work and why they matter more now than ever. This is the sort of book that every serious retail investor should carry around, dog-eared and rolled, in his back pocket."
—Martin Cej, Investment Editor, The Globe and Mail
"Even readers with no interest in bonds will find Andrew Allentuck’s book interesting. He goes beyond the ordinary discussion of bonds, and skillfully turns a dull pudding of numbers into a wonderful soufflé of stories."
—Caroline Nalbantoglu, Registered Financial Planner, PWL Advisors
"In a lively and engaging style, Andrew Allentuck explains not only how bonds work, but also when and why you should invest in bonds. He covers all the bases."
—Tessa Wilmott, Editor, Investment Executive
"Bonds are essential in portfolio building, yet to many retail investors they still lack the sex appeal of stocks. Bonds for Canadians may just change that notion forever."
—Derek Moran, Registered Financial Planner, Macdonald Shymko & Co.

Great topic - poor editing,

This review is from: Bonds for Canadians: How to Build Wealth and Lower Risk in Your Portfolio (Hardcover)
I appreciate that Andrew Allentuck wrote a book specifically for Canadians about their bond market, and that Wiley published it, given that the market for this book must be quite small. The material seems well covered. The book would benefit from a thorough editing to remove typos and repetition and to add a clarity and directness to some sections of text. Regardless of its flaws, this book does a great job of describing how the bond market works, how bonds can be used to lower risk in a portfolio, and how to go about buying/selling bonds.
