All marketable debt securities are held at cost on a company's balance sheet as a current asset, until a gain or loss is realized upon the sale of the debt instrument. Marketable debt securities are held as short-term investments and are expected to be sold within one year. If a debt security is expected to be held for longer than one year, it should be classified as a long-term investment on the company's balance sheet.
But I would stay away from emerging-markets bonds in any configuration. All long-term bonds and bond funds. If interest rates rise and you own short-and medium-term bonds, you or a fund manager can buy new ones with higher interest rates as holdings mature.eep your investments simple. You donât need tricky bonds or derivatives or commodities. Your portfolio should mainly comprise U.S. stocks, short-term Treasuries or medium-term corporate bonds, and cash. Unless you want to spend a lot of time on your portfolio, limit other investments to 20% of your holdings.
