Government Bonds/Securities I'm just wondering where I can go to buy 2 or 5 year government bonds or securities, and what the latest rates are. Really, I don't know how any of this works, and I looked on the Bank of Canada website and I just got more confused. Any help would be great, Thanks! |
You can buy them at your bank. |
Rates Institutionally: 2yr Canadas 1.81 and 5yr Canadas 3.04. Rates offered at the retail level WILL be lower. Provincial bonds will get you a little more, say .30 more for 2years and about .40 more for 5 years, depending on the province. |
^ Just curious, is the interest distributed bi-annually or quarterly? |
Interest on regular domestic bonds pay semi-annually, ie you get half the coupon every 6 months. Rates have moved up significantly today (say +.18% in 2s and +.15% in 5s) as the Bank of Canada has officially opened the door to a bump up in rates as early as June now. |
