Bonds market - an attractive market
Investing in the Bonds market means choosing a market with a liquid value of over US$ 94 trillion (source: Bank for International Settlements).
The Bonds market offers numerous advantages:
- Fixed maturity and coupon payments, providing a regular and predefined cash inflow;
- Reduced volatility;
- A wide range of possible investments, whether corporate or sovereign debts, currencies, maturities or levels of risk;
- Ongoing and developing interest from international investors;
- An overall good performance, especially on corporate debts.
