What if I invest in Temasek bonds now? Ideally, would I get back the capital I put in?

I would like to invest in Temasek bonds, however, I missed the IPO. I would like to invest in it now, however I am not sure how to calculate the risk associated, and hence I'm not sure if I would be able to get back the capital invested

There is a calculator on temasek website.

https://www.temasek.com.sg/en/our-financials/te...

i am assuming you are referring to this ticker (SGX:TEKB) available to retail investors.

as of today, you will get 1.91% yield to maturity.

you will get the remaining coupons (interests), but you will not get back your "capital" even if temasek does not default.

reason is you buy today price is $1.037, but temasek will redeem at $1.

hope this helps.

One never knows.

However i could imagine that the risk of Temasek defaulting should be very low.

There is no guarantee however for 100 %...

I’ve actually been waiting to buy QQQ back. Lost it on a stop loss during that little tech dip. I would love to get it back. Anyone else investing in QQQ?

How and where can I put my CPF's OA to some investment (super low risk type) so that HDB would not wipe out most of my OA when I buy BTO? I just wish to park the OA somewhere for a short period and put the money back soon after. Any advice please?

Hi, what would be the best and safest way to invest $300,000? Would putting the money under Funding Societies' Property-backed Secured loans and guaranteed loans be really risk-free to principal?

I would like to put 20k into my 23 yr old son CPF. Will I be able to get better returns in other investment over 30 plus years than CPF?

If you have $10,000 extra fund, what would you invest to growth this $10k and get the fund back in 10 years time? Especially those that will grow in value over time after post covid times?
