Issuing bonds is a common method for entities to raise funds, whether it is a government, corporation or municipality.<\/p>\n<p>When you purchase a bond, you are \u201clending\u201d to the bond issuer or \u201cborrower\u201d. In return, the borrower promises to pay you a specified rate of interest over the life of the bond and to repay the principal amount, otherwise termed as the \u201cface value\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"There_are_a_few_different_types_of_bonds_but_the_main_ones_are\"><\/span><b>There are a few different types of bonds, but the main ones are:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/c\/corporatebond.asp#:~:text=A%20corporate%20bond%20is%20debt,trade%20on%20the%20secondary%20market.\">Corporate bonds<\/a> \u2013 issued by private and public corporations.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investor.gov\/introduction-investing\/investing-basics\/investment-products\/bonds-or-fixed-income-products-0#:~:text=What%20are%20municipal%20bonds%3F,schools%2C%20highways%20or%20sewer%20systems.\">Municipal bonds<\/a> \u2013 issued by states, cities, counties and other government entities.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/t\/treasurybond.asp#:~:text=Special%20Considerations-,What%20Is%20a%20Treasury%20Bond%20(T%2DBond)%3F,amount%20equal%20to%20the%20principal.\">Treasury bonds<\/a> \u2013 issued by the U.S. Department of the treasury on behalf of the federal government.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_invest_in_bonds\"><\/span><b>Why invest in bonds?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>People tend to prefer buying bonds as they provide a predictable income stream. Bonds typically pay interest twice a year. They are typically regarded as a safe haven for one\u2019s money.<\/p>\n<p>When bonds are held to maturity, bondholders are able to get back the entire principal, hence it is a good way to preserve capital while investing. It can also act as an offset exposure to more volatile stock holdings.<\/p>\n<p>Bonds are able to contribute an element of stability to almost any diversified portfolio, acting as a safe and conservative investment. When stocks perform poorly, they are great savings vehicles for when you want to preserve your capital.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_some_benefits_of_investing_in_bonds\"><\/span><b>What are some benefits of investing in bonds?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Capital preservation<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Earning predictable returns \u2013 can function as steady streams of income<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_between_Bonds_and_Bond_ETFs\"><\/span><b>Difference between Bonds and Bond ETFs?&nbsp;<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Bonds constitute single security with a Corporate, Financial Institution, or Government as a borrower, ETFs invest in a basket of bonds or debt instruments. They pool funds from capital invested, often tracking an index of bonds with the main objective of matching the returns from that underlying index.<\/p>\n<p>While both have similar attributes, a Bond ETF typically offers better risk-adjusted returns at a lower cost compared to buying individual Bonds. Bond ETFs also allow for a smaller investment size for investors who wish to construct and own a&nbsp;diversified portfolio of bonds.<\/p>\n<p>Another difference is that Bonds have a fixed maturity date and coupon, while a Bond ETF does not have a maturity date but often pays dividends that mirror the received coupons in the strategy, or re-invest those proceeds at the prevailing market price.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Owning_Bond_ETFs_over_Bonds\"><\/span><b>Advantages of Owning Bond ETFs over Bonds<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81238 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/advangate-320x278.webp\" alt=\"advantage-Bond ETFs\" width=\"320\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/advangate-320x278.webp 320w, https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/advangate-640x556.webp 640w, https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/advangate.webp 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 320px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_Owning_Bond_ETFs_over_Bonds\"><\/span><b>Disadvantages of Owning Bond ETFs over Bonds<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81244 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pros-320x206.webp\" alt=\"pros-Bond ETFs\" width=\"320\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pros-320x206.webp 320w, https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pros-640x413.webp 640w, https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pros.webp 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When charted against equity indices such as the Straits Times Index, the price action for the ABF Singapore Bond Index Fund and Nikko AM SGD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF has been relatively more stable.<\/p>\n<h4>ABF Singapore Bond Index Fund (stock code: A35)<br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/h4>\n<p>The ABF Singapore Bond Index Fund is the first ETF bond fund listed in Singapore, which invests in the constituents of the iBoxx ABF Singapore Bond Index.
