1 Year Fixed Rate Bonds
1 year fixed rate bonds may be the right option for you if you’re looking for a low risk investment opportunity and are able to commit your funds for a period of 12 months. Fixed rate bonds give you a good rate of return for your money in recompense for locking it away for a fixed period.
When you invest in 1 year fixed rate bonds you are essentially making a loan of your capital for the period of one year. In return you will receive a predetermined interest payment on either a monthly basis or at the end of the one year fixed rate period.
Penalties may apply if you withdraw from your commitment before the fixed rate bond period is over. Some accounts may not let you withdraw you money at all before the term is over.
If you have decided that investing in 1 year fixed rate bonds is the right option for you, it is a good idea to shop around and compare the market to ensure that you get the best possible deal on your 1 year fixed rate bonds.
