Investing in retail bonds
2012 is perhaps not a good year for investing as quoted by many financial institutions. Economic growth is low in Singapore and inflation has hit about 5%. Equities seem like it is not looking good for 2012. And it could force investors to look for other ways to diversify or strengthen their assets. As we know, prices of bonds will rise as price of equities drop, basically, it is due to the market interest rates. For more info about this on Investopedia, click here. The concept of bonds, for example, government bonds, is that of the government borrowing money from you. It could be in denominations of S$1,000, S$10,000 etc. The government doesn't just borrow from one person. it collects a pool of money. (people subscribing to the bonds form the pool) And every year, the government pays interest to you (coupon payment). There are usually tenures of the loan just like your regular bank loan in 5 years, 10 years, depending on the structure of the bond. A good way to place your money for long term investmen
