Bonds

The DSE and CSE also provide opportunities to invest in bonds. Bonds are fixed-income securities where investors lend money to the issuer in exchange for periodic interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity. Investing in bonds can provide a steady income stream and relatively lower risk compared to equities.

Government Securities (G-Sec)

Government Securities, known as G-Sec, are bonds issued by a government to raise funds for various financial needs, including budget deficits and expenditures.

Advantages of Investing in G-Sec:
  • Fixed Semi-Annual Interest Payments
  • Tax Rebate Benefits
  • Government Backed - Safe and Secure Investment
Note: Auctions for different periods of G-Sec Bonds are held every Tuesday of the month.
