LadderBuildersm is an online financial tool to create a synthetic laddered portfolio of bonds, diversified by maturity and program.
By investing funds in a variety of maturities and programs, a laddered bond portfolio can help reduce a portfolio’s exposure to changes in interest rates.
Bond laddering can be an effective strategy in both rising and declining interest rate environments. If interest rates are generally rising, the bonds maturing at the beginning of the ladder generally can be reinvested at the higher prevailing rates as they mature. If interest rates fall, the bonds maturing at the end of the ladder should have above-market returns.
