3 Year Fixed Rate Bonds
3 year fixed rate bonds offer an investment opportunity where in return for committing your money for a 3 year fixed rate period, you'll get the security of knowing you can rely on a fixed rate of interest for that period.
3 year fixed rate bonds are likely to get you a better rate of return than a 1 or 2 year fixed rate bonds, so if you are able to commit for 3 years you could be getting a better deal.
However, 3 year fixed rate bonds can also be an inflexible way to invest. It may be difficult or impossible to withdraw your funds early, or you may be subject to heavy exit charges. Before investing in 3 year fixed rate bonds you should be reasonably sure that you will be able to commit your funds for the entire 3 year period.
To get the best possible deal for your money, it is always a good idea to shop around and compare the market.
