Key Points

A search for yield has led to greater popularity of alternative approaches in investing in bonds.
But non-traditional bonds may be less popular among financial advisors due to lack of awareness, lack of promotion and the amount of research needed to employ them successfully.
Products attracting interest include so-called green bonds, foreign currency-denominated bonds in emerging markets and state municipal bonds using tobacco settlement monies.
