Good morning Kampala,
In this Podcast, we break into the Economics of why Bond prices are impacted by the interest rates.
For reference.
The 15 year bond offered in 2019 at Coupon rate of 14.25% now trading around UGX 92.
The 15 year treasury bond offered in 2020 at 15.25% now trading at around UGX 102
Quote from the Podcast.
“Your best strategy is to hold to maturity. (Hold to Maturity").
At least 90% of your chances should be to always hold that bond until it matures.
That's why it's very important to develop your investment strategy and see what tenors of a bond suits you best.
Is it a 2-year bond?
Is it a 5-year bond?
Or is it the 10, 15 and 20-year bonds?”
