What is a Bond?
Bonds are debt securities issued by an institution (government, corporation, or other parties) to obtain funding. The bond issuer will repay all notes issued at maturity, with a certain coupon rate over the term of the bond.
Primary Bonds
Initial Public Offering Bonds at the offered price. These Bonds can only be purchased within a certain period. In addition, not all Bonds purchased in the Primary Market can be traded in the Secondary Market.
Secondary Bonds
Bonds that can be traded at any time before maturity with other investors. The maturity of Secondary Market Bonds usually varies, ranging from under a year to more than 10 years. The principal value follows the market, which leads to potential capital gains.
What are Government Bonds?
Government Bonds are one of the safest investment products because they have low risk. These Bonds are debt securities issued by the Government of Indonesia, then offered to the individual investors.
- Gain Coupons (Interest) Periodically
The Bondholders will receive coupons regularly within the agreed period. There are Bonds that distribute coupons every month, every three months, or every six months.
- Capital Gain Potential
Capital gain is the potential profit from selling bonds to general investors in the Secondary Market. This profit can be calculated from the difference in the selling price minus the purchase price of the Bonds. If you buy at a low price and sell at a high price, then you earn capital gain.
- Principal Refunded at Maturity
In general, the default rate of return on principal by the Issuer of Bonds is relatively small although the risk of default remains. This risk only exists in Bonds issued by private companies. Meanwhile, refunds by the government are guaranteed by Law.
- Relatively Higher Bond Profits Than Deposit Interest
The coupon value obtained from Bonds is generally relatively higher than the average Fixed Deposit interest rate. In addition, Bonds also provide the benefit of a fixed coupon, which is a measurable cash flow without the risk of changes in interest rates commonly found in Fixed Deposit.
This can be considered by most investors in buying Bonds to gain the maximum profit possible.
- Can be used as Collateral
Not many people know that Bonds can also be used as collateral to apply for a bank loan. In addition, Bonds can also be used as collateral to buy shares on the stock exchange. The benefits of Bonds can multiply.

FAQ About Government Bonds
- The profit from the coupon is calculated from the percentage of the coupon value that will be obtained every year. If the coupon payment schedule is twice a year, then the amount is divided by two and reduced by the 10% Bond coupon tax. Coupon payments will continue until maturity, with the total value known as yield to maturity.
- Profits from capital gains are obtained by selling bonds in the Secondary Market at a higher price than the purchase price. These prices, depending on market dynamics and demands, are known as par prices or 100% face value, premium prices (above par), and discount prices (below par).
- Accrued interest or current interest is obtained by the seller of the Bonds when the Bonds are purchased between the coupon payment dates. For example, the coupon payment schedule is January 1 and July 1. When there is a transaction on April 1, then the buyer must pay the current interest from January 1 to April 1 to the seller.
