Bonds are debt instruments issued by a government, government agency or corporation to raise money. On or before the maturity date of a bond, a bond issuer pays the pre-agreed coupon interest on the note on a regular and timely basis and redeemed the principal or par value stated on the bond from the investor on the maturity date. Investors can choose to hold the bonds until maturity or sell them in the secondary market prior to maturity.
Bonds provide investors with a fixed source of income (coupon) and help them maintain their capital (they get their money back at maturity). The steady cash flow of a bond helps cushion the volatility of bond prices. So adding bonds to a client's portfolio can help make it more resilient.
Zhong Heng Finance Group provides guests with various types of bonds, including fixed rate bonds, floating rate bonds and convertible bonds, to meet their different investment needs and generate stable cash flow.
