Why Bonds Should Be Part of Your Investment Portfolio
Part 15/15: A Beginner’s Guide to Investing in Treasury Bonds & Bills
If you’re looking for a safe, reliable, and rewarding investment, treasury bonds are a great option. Whether you’re an individual investor, an investment club, or an offshore investor looking for exposure to African markets, bonds offer stability and steady returns.
Benefits of Investing in Bonds
Regular income – Bonds pay interest (coupon payments) every six months, giving you a predictable cash flow.
Lower risk – Government bonds are among the safest investments since they are backed by the government.
Capital preservation – Unlike stocks, where your investment value can fluctuate wildly, bonds guarantee your principal at maturity.
Diversification – Adding bonds to your portfolio helps reduce overall risk, balancing higher-risk investments like stocks or real estate.

Investment clubs – Seeking steady, long-term returns for members.
