Government bonds let investors lend money to a national government in return for interest and repayment at maturity. This beginner guide explains UK gilts, US Treasury bills, notes and bonds, coupon payments, maturity dates and what a bond yield means.
You’ll learn: • How government bonds work • The difference between a bond’s price, coupon and yield • UK gilts versus US Treasuries • Why yields and prices generally move in opposite directions • Key risks, including interest-rate, inflation and currency risk
Government bonds are often considered lower credit risk than many other investments, but their market value can fall and returns are not guaranteed.
