Types of Bonds
Bonds can be broadly categorised in bond market sectors: government, sub-sovereign, corporate and mortgage-backed or asset-backed collateralised bonds. Within each market sector you will find bonds with different issuers, credit ratings, coupon rates, maturities, yields and other features. Each bond offers its own balance of risk and reward and your choice of which bonds to invest in will depend on your investment goals, your risk tolerance, and financial considerations.
