What is a Bond?

Bonds are debt securities issued by an institution (government, corporation, or other parties) to obtain funding. The bond issuer will repay all notes issued at maturity, with a certain coupon rate over the term of the bond.

Primary Bonds

Initial Public Offering Bonds at the offered price. These Bonds can only be purchased within a certain period. In addition, not all Bonds purchased in the Primary Market can be traded in the Secondary Market.

Secondary Bonds

Bonds that can be traded at any time before maturity with other investors. The maturity of Secondary Market Bonds usually varies, ranging from under a year to more than 10 years. The principal value follows the market, which leads to potential capital gains.

What are Government Bonds?

Government Bonds are one of the safest investment products because they have low risk. These Bonds are debt securities issued by the Government of Indonesia, then offered to the individual investors.

1. Gain Coupons (Interest) Periodically

   The Bondholders will receive coupons regularly within the agreed period. There are Bonds that distribute coupons every month, every three months, or every six months.

2. Capital Gain Potential

   Capital gain is the potential profit from selling bonds to general investors in the Secondary Market. This profit can be calculated from the difference in the selling price minus the purchase price of the Bonds. If you buy at a low price and sell at a high price, then you earn capital gain.

3. Principal Refunded at Maturity

   In general, the default rate of return on principal by the Issuer of Bonds is relatively small although the risk of default remains. This risk only exists in Bonds issued by private companies. Meanwhile, refunds by the government are guaranteed by Law.

4. Relatively Higher Bond Profits Than Deposit Interest

   The coupon value obtained from Bonds is generally relatively higher than the average Fixed Deposit interest rate. In addition, Bonds also provide the benefit of a fixed coupon, which is a measurable cash flow without the risk of changes in interest rates commonly found in Fixed Deposit.

   This can be considered by most investors in buying Bonds to gain the maximum profit possible.

5. Can be used as Collateral

   Not many people know that Bonds can also be used as collateral to apply for a bank loan. In addition, Bonds can also be used as collateral to buy shares on the stock exchange. The benefits of Bonds can multiply.

6. Help Diversify Your Portfolio

The success of your investment strategy will significantly depend on your asset allocation. Don't make the mistake of only investing in one type of asset.

Investing in bonds has the potential to help stabilize your portfolio. Bond investing provides a regular stream of income, an important portfolio element for many experienced investors.
