Fractional Bonds make bond investments accessible to retail investors. The vast majority of bonds require high minimum investments of $10 000 or more for a single investment. Moreover, many bonds, especially high-yield ones, aren’t available to retail investors at all.
This makes it difficult for many retail investors to build a bond portfolio. On Blue Sun Trust Bank, we are changing this: You can invest in small fractions of a bond, starting from just $50, and conveniently build a diversified bond portfolio.
When you invest in Fractional Bonds on Blue Sun Trust Bank, you purchase bond-backed securities. This means you won’t hold the underlying bond directly. Instead, you hold Fractional Bonds emitted by a special purpose entity within the Blue Sun Trust group that acts as the issuer. The Fractional Bonds issuer holds the underlying bond, and passes on its returns to you. Fractional Bonds are only available on Blue Sun Trust Bank.
The return on a specific Fractional Bonds offer depends on the coupon rate of the underlying bond. The coupon rate is determined by:
*inherent risk factors of the underlying bond, including the bond issuer’s creditworthiness
*market factors, including the general economic environment, general interest rate levels, and alternative investment opportunities in the financial sector
If you hold your Fractional Bonds until maturity, fluctuations in the underlying bond's value will not affect your return. However, if you want to sell your Fractional Bonds on the Secondary Market, the price might be affected by supply and demand, as well as changes in the risk and market factors of the underlying bond. This means the going price on the Secondary Market might be different from the purchase price you paid.
