^ noh yan? parang di ata pwede makabili ng solo mong bond

[nanashi]

Technically di talaga pwede as in you need a broker in both primary and secondary market. Di mo siya mabibili ng solo na nakapangalan sa iyo ang bond. It's a street name ownership. Putting your money in this instrument assure your of tax exemptions on Corporate Bond with more than 5 years tenure and some special gov't issued bond that are tax exempted such as Renewable Energy Bonds in other countries.

If you want you can try Mutual Fund, Bond Fund it is invested in high quality government bonds and corporate bonds.. Minimum is 5 k only..

nakainvest na ako sa mutual funds...pero gusto kong mag-diversify...is it still advisable to invest in corporate bonds kahit na may bond mf na ako?

[mamee]

mga guys, kung gusto nyo talaga matuto mag-invest sa bonds, just call Development Bank of the Philippines, Treasury Department 818-9511 to 20 / 818-9611 to 20 or any other commercial banks...

[reydel]

what are the usual charges and fees in buying bonds? thanks in advance

[anidiottrader]

Interested din ako sa bonds pero sa RTBs. How do I go about it?

Pag nagtatanong ako sa banks, sinasabi nila alang available? or ignore lang nila ako kasi mukhang gusgusin ako.

[GoodSteward]

@ait, try mo treasury department ng banks...wag lang sa branches, for me mga branches mostly walang alam kasi....

And also RTB, try mo magtiming ng bagong "release", kasi pag through secondary market medyo lugi ka na sa rates usually, may mga accrued computations etc...

Avoid long term bonds their value fall when interest rate rise.

Note: To investors please be aware of the characteristics and risks of securities/ investments before you decide to invest.

I agree to some extent. Thats why I made some quick money last year selling my rtb when BSP released another tranch of RTBs with lower rates.

Which means if the interest rate goes up, your existing RTB loses value, as what finance123 mentioned.

But if you have plans to hold it till maturity, it doesnot have any effect, since youre set on the rate that you got in to.

Specially if the investor has steady stream of income to invest, then he can continue investing in the newer RTBs with the increased rates in such a case.
