Frequently Asked Questions
How can I buy a bond?
You can buy bonds using an investment account that we set up for you at J&T Banka, as. Setting up, maintaining and canceling this account is completely free.
How will I know that a trade has gone through?
With the created account, he gets access to the web application, where you have an overview of every transaction down to the last crown. At the same time, you can follow the development of bonds here, as well as paid coupons.
Are the purchase fees included in the returns or do I still have to deduct them?
All yields to maturity are calculated including purchase fees.
What if I need the money before the bond matures?
If you need your money sooner, you will sell the bond in the same way you are used to selling, for example, stocks. In 3 days you will have them in your current account.
How is it possible that the yield to maturity is higher than the coupon paid?
This is due to the fact that we can buy bonds below their nominal value, i.e. the value that will be paid to you at maturity. If you buy a bond with a nominal value of USD 1000 for USD 800, you will appreciate your funds by 25% when the bond is paid off, just because of the discount.
Is it possible to hedge against currency risk?
Yes it is. Contact us for more information.
Should I be worried about a drop in the dollar thanks to a significant strengthening of the koruna?
The dollar is still the world's reserve currency, and strong strengthening of the koruna will always be tempered by the fact that we are an export economy. Such a significant strengthening of the domestic currency is unlikely.
What is the preferred scenario?
It is the scenario we expect, which should deliver the price of the bond. It is not unusual that we managed to achieve a yield of over 20% in 6 months on bonds with a lower risk (see credit rating) than, for example, the bonds of the company Sazka, as. You can find more in section REFERENCES.
