Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between yield and coupon on a bond?
The coupon is the fixed interest the issuer pays on face value. The yield is the return you actually earn given the price you pay. If you buy a bond below face value the yield exceeds the coupon; if you pay above face value the yield is lower.
Why do bond prices fall when interest rates rise?
A bond's coupon is fixed at issue. When prevailing rates rise, newly issued bonds pay more, so an existing lower-coupon bond must trade at a lower price for its yield to match the market. Longer-maturity bonds fall further for the same rate move.
Are government securities risk-free?
Government securities carry sovereign credit risk, which is the lowest available in the domestic market, so default risk is minimal. They still carry interest-rate risk: if you sell before maturity after rates have risen, you can realise a capital loss.
