 DEBT SECURITIES
Treasury bills and bonds are both investment securities
issued by the government in order to raise funds for the
running of the government and to pay off any outstanding
government loans. The major similarity between these
securities is that they are issued by the same party, and any
individual who purchases these securities is essentially
lending money to their country’s government. Regardless of
their similarities, treasury bills and bonds are quite
different to each other in terms of their characteristics.
 DEBT SECURITIES
>Treasury bill is a short term security, with maturity of usually
less than one year.
>The return to an investor of a treasury bill is not from
interest paid like in most bonds (interest on bonds are called
coupon payments). Rather, the investment return is through
the appreciation of the price of the security. For example, the
price of a T-bill is set at 950. The investor pays the T-bill at 950
and waits for it to mature. At maturity, the government pays
the bill holder (investor) 1000. The return that the investor
would have made is the difference of 50.
 DEBT SECURITIES
•Corporate Bonds are issued by publicly listed
companies. These bonds usually have higher
interest rates than Treasury bonds. However,
these bonds are not risk free. If the company
which issued the bonds goes bankrupt, the
holder of the bonds will no longer receive any
return from their investment and even their
principal investment can be wiped out.
