A word from leavinglaw
Bond Sales is an area of many banks and boutique investment houses. Sales teams around the world maintain relationships with investors who buy (or sell) bonds in their investment strategy. Bonds are instruments usually issued by a government or corporate body that normally pay a known, fixed or floating rate return to the investor for buying a bond of a certain duration e.g. 2 years. Examples of investors would be pension funds, insurance companies and hedge funds. The sales team speak with investors hoping to earn an order which will pay them a commission for their execution (the skill of buying or selling the bonds at a good price) and their investment acumen. In theory, the better the salesperson is at both tasks, the more pay they are likely to earn.
