Oh ..... SSB is a form of contract lending by especially a govt lor.

The interest payment is determined and in this case locked for 10 years with payment every 6 months.

Like above pa, it is graded over the years, first year is 1.75% until the 10th year is 3.41% lor. So ave. yield is 2.63% pa for a 10years cycle.  That year is a good year to buy SSB or any SG Bond.

This one I bought is  SBJUL18 GX18070N  lor.

And the bond is so called graded and bundle with other SG bonds.  If govt default payment, it also auto trigger default in other issue.  So the payment of interest is ON THE DOT one .....like this case every July 1st and Jan 1st ....... WITHOUT FAIL.

Currently, due to 100B stimulus, the interest is super depressed at 0.3% for the first 3 years 10years ave is 0.8%.  I think need to wait a few years before the flooded monetary policy market is fully mopped up lor. 

So now is actually buy asset lor ....... like stocks, gold???!!!! ..... 

One should balanced with a portfolio of CASH, Stocks,Bonds and FD lor ...... Investment Asset OK ...... a Car is an Asset but not an Investment Asset hor.
