How much can you make with bonds?
Yield of transactions with bonds sometimes does not equal earnings on shares.
If the price of the bonds has gone up well, you may not wait for the repayment of the bonds. It is better to sell them in open auctions and fix additional profits!
Here are some examples:
Beginners often ask...
Bonds are debt securities that are traded on the stock exchange. At its core, one bond is like a receipt that confirms that someone took money from you and is obliged to give it with interest.
When you buy a bond, you lend money to a certain company or even to the government of an entire country. In return, the «borrower» undertakes to pay you interest regularly and to return the entire amount of the investments after a predetermined term.
It is not quite right to compare bonds with shares in the «better-worse» style. These instruments can complement each other in one investment portfolio.
Bond yields are on average lower than equities. However, they may be higher than bank deposits.
Bond risk is also traditionally lower: their price fluctuates less on the stock market. Plus, if the bonds are held by the end of their term, the investor will get back the full amount of the investments, even if the market price of the bonds by that time falls. Bonds are therefore considered a defensive instrument. They should be added to the investment portfolio to increase its reliability - especially in troubled periods in the market.
The result of investing in bonds is more predictable, because even before the purchase, you can know many factors: maturity, fixed interest rate, yield.
The issuer is a “debtor” who issued bonds to sell them and get money to realize their goals. Issuers can be companies, city authorities and governments.
Nominal value is the amount of debt per bond. If you multiply the value by the total number of bonds in the issue, you can find out how much money the issuer is borrowing at the that time.
In other words, the face value is the initial value at which the issuer offers bonds to investors. On the Kazakh market, the value of one bond is most often 1000 tenge. On foreign markets - $1000, although there are bonds in the value of $100,000. When bonds start trading on the stock exchange, their price may fluctuate above or below face value. But at the end of the term the issuer returns the investor money precisely at the face value of the bonds.
The price of bonds on the stock exchange is usually expressed as a percentage of face value. When in quotes you see the figure 95.3, and the value of the bond - 1000 tenge, this means that now the bond costs 95.3% of 1000 tenge. That is 0.953*1000 = 953 tenge.
This is when the company has to pay the bondholder and return him the value of each bond. The maturity date is usually known in advance. On that day the bonds disappear from your account, and instead money appears. But you may also not have to wait for the repayment and sell the bonds on the market during the working time of the exchange.
These are regular interest payments that the investor receives from the issuer. In other words, this is the main source of your stable passive bond income. The annual coupon rate is usually known immediately and fixed for the entire term of the bond. Although there is a “floating coupon rate”. In most cases, coupons are paid two or four times a year. Most often, companies pay them every three months.
This is the coupon portion that’s accrued, but not yet paid, because there’s still time until the due date. This indicator is taken into account so that bonds can be bought and sold between coupon payments without losing the reward.
If the company pays coupons once every three months, and you have held the bond for only 1.5 months since the last payment, you still deserve half the coupon for that time - it will not be lost. When you decide to sell the bond, the buyer together with the market value of the bond at that time will also pay you ACI. The ACI itself resets at the time of the coupon payment and then gradually grows to the next payout date - until it reaches the full coupon size.
This is how much you can earn on bonds shown as a percentage. But do not confuse the yield with coupons. If the coupon rate is fixed, the yield can change. It depends on the coupon rate, the market price of the bonds, the time of purchase and ACI.
There is an important feature: when the price of a bond falls, its yield rises. Conversely, when the price of a bond rises, the yield falls.
Credit ratings from agencies like Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, or Moody’s affect bond yields through reliability.
The yield of the bonds with rating «AAA» will be obviously lower because the issuer is considered very reliable. The issuer doesn’t have to overpay investors to raise their funds. Investors themselves see that to give such a borrower money is almost a risk-free opportunity, which can make a little money.
The yield of bonds with “BBB” rating will be higher. These are still very reliable issuers, but rating agencies see more risk factors for them. For this risk investors want to earn more income on their investments.
And so on - the lower the rating, the higher the bond yields.
