facebookDo the SSB prices fluctuate during the maturity period? Is it possible if I bought the bonds for 500$ then during the coupon payment period prices go up and down and I call sell to book profit ? How long is the maturity of these bonds? Thanks! - Seedly

Hi there!

Price fluctuation | Profiting

You can head on to http://www.sgs.gov.sg/savingsbonds/About-SSB/Ri... for more info but here's the answer specific to your question:

"However, you will always get your principal back when investing in Savings Bonds. Once a Savings Bond is issued, interest rate changes will have no effect on the bond’s value."

Therefore, bond prices will remain as it is throughout your entire investment period. But do note there's a $2 transaction fee to whenever each transaction is performed.

Maturity Period

This bond is a 10-year bond with a step-up interest rate at some years into your investment. If you hold the entire 10 years, it'd be on average 2.13% simple interest for the entire 10-years vested.

Hope it answers your question :)
