Government and corporate bonds within the relevant account and custody arrangements. Credit, maturity and liquidity remain distinct considerations.
FIDERE’s published wealth offering includes government and corporate bonds. Access is considered within the applicable account and custody framework. The instrument’s name is the start of the discussion, not the complete assessment.
Government and corporate bonds carry the obligations of their respective issuers. The security, terms and credit exposure should be considered for the particular instrument; the category alone is not a guarantee.
The maturity and payment terms should be read together with the trust’s obligations. An expected payment schedule does not remove credit risk or assure the value of a position before maturity.
Market conditions, available dealing channels and the instrument’s terms can affect an exit. Consider currency and settlement requirements as well as the ability to hold the position for the intended period.
Account and custody arrangements should be understood alongside the relevant product documents. Administration brings the holding, transaction and account records into the wider trust structure. Any investment decision requires consideration of the client’s circumstances and the specific instrument.
