LEARN. INVEST. IMPROVE.
Treasury Bonds are Investments You can Trust.
01. What are Treasury Bonds?
Treasury bonds, often called T-bonds, are long-term loans that investors make to a national government. When you buy a Treasury bond, you’re lending money to the government in exchange for regular interest payments and the return of your full investment when the bond matures.
02. How they work?
The government sells bonds to raise funds for public projects or to manage national debt.
Investors receive a fixed interest rate (called the coupon rate) every six months and when the bond reaches its end date the government pays back the full face value of the bond.
03. Why they are the safest Investment?
Treasury bonds are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the government. This means the government legally must pay you back. No Default Risk (in stable countries).
Interest payments and the final payout are fixed, you know exactly how much you’ll earn and they can be sold anytime in financial markets, offering liquidity and security.
04. In simple terms
Buying a Treasury bond is like lending money to one of the most reliable borrowers in the world National governments. You earn steady interest, and you can always trust you’ll get your money back.
