YIELDS FROM FIXED RATE BONDS | PART 3

What to take into consideration

In this, the third and final episode of our blog series dedicated to the fixed income / fixed rate bonds, we take a deeper look into the yields. Crucially, the interest rate that you can expect to see from these products will vary depending on a number of factors. These will usually include some of the following:

The type of bond: There are many different types of fixed rate bonds, each coming with its own interest rate. For example, the government bonds typically offer interest rates in the range of 0.5% to 2%. Whereas the corporate bonds normally offer interest rates in the range of 2% to 5%. And finally, high-yield bonds can yield interest rates in the range from 5% up to the mid-teens.
The term of the bond: The longer the term of the bond, the higher the interest rate will be. This is generally because investors are taking on more risk by locking their money away for a longer period of time.
The current market conditions: The interest rates offered by fixed rate bonds will also be affected by the current market conditions. For example, if interest rates are rising, the investors will be able to get a higher interest rate on their fixed rate bonds.
Coupon payment schedules: These schedules may vary during any term, and you may want to ask for clarification. Is the coupon payment schedule annual, semi-annual or quarterly?

In general, you can expect to see interest rates on fixed rate bonds that are higher than the interest rates on savings accounts. Furthermore, the interest rates on Fixed rate bonds are typically higher than the returns that you can expect to see from stocks or shares in normalised markets.

If you’re considering investing in fixed rate bonds you may want to reflect upon the investment goals you are hoping to achieve before making a final decision. Specifically, you should assess whether you would rather focus on the short-term and placing your money in a secure structure; Or alternatively, whether you would like instead to concentrate on long-term investment and a steady stream of income. As mentioned in the first blog [LINK], Fixed rate bonds can offer yields which produce annualised income of between upper single digit and sometimes into double digit returns with coupons paid quarterly or annually.

Another aspect worth considering prior to you making a final commitment to invest in fixed rate bonds has to do with your own risk tolerance. Compared to stocks or shares for example, fixed rate bonds can be qualified as either lower-risk investment products (in the case of government treasuries, such as UK gilts or US treasuries); or higher-risk investment products (if they are market-linked). There is always some investment risk involved, the value of your bond could fall if interest rates rise or the issuer of the bond defaults.

This concludes our introductory series on Fixed Rate Bonds. If you haven’t already, please feel free to read parts one and two in this three-part series [LINKS TO PART 1 AND PART 2]. Also, if you would like to know more about our 2-year fixed-rate bonds, you can get in touch with our team.
