Government Bonds

FIRST POSTED IN JULY 2007

Hi Mr Tan,
Due to the low fixed deposit interest rate, I intend to buy bonds issued by Singapore Government.

1) How many different types of bond we can buy as an individual?
2) Is there a minimum amount to buy?
3) How to buy and what risks do we have to take?

You can approach your bank or stockbroker. You can also view from the MAS website. Government bonds have the lowest risk, ie they are more secure than bank deposits.
