Bonds, debt securities

Start investing Secondary market quotes

Bonds are intended for customers who prefer investments with a predictable level of earnings. These fixed-income securities have a pre-defined and fixed interest income (coupons) and a pre-defined maturity term. You can sell bonds before their maturity date. In such a case, the bond price will depend on the market situation existing at the time of the selling thereof and of the level of interest rates.

You can check the specific features of the bonds you want to buy in the bond prospectus or other document, which we encourage you to read in detail. 

Features

  • Exchange-traded bonds can be sold before their maturity date
  • Fluctuations of the return on investments are usually lower in comparison to the investment funds
  • Changes to the interest rates on the market may alter the value of investments in these debt securities. As interest rates on the market increase, the value of investment in debt securities decreases.
