Invest in RTBs for as low as PHP 5,000
The 30thth Tranche of Retail Treasury Bonds (“RTB”) (“RTB30”) form part of the National Government’s program to make government securities available to retail investors.
Benefits to Investors:
Sovereign Backing. RTBs are peso-denominated investment securities issued by the Republic of the Philippines. Investments in RTBs are direct obligations of the Republic and are thus considered Investment grade.
Affordable. RTBs are affordable investments with a minimum placement amount of PHP5,000.
Frequent Interest Payments. RTBs pay interest quarterly.
Relatively Higher Yield. RTBs offer relatively higher yields compared to savings and deposit instruments.
Convenient. RTBs can be purchased from any of the Selling Agent banks. Investors can even use their existing savings account as the settlement account for the placement of RTBs and receipt of interest.
Negotiable and Transferrable. RTBs have an active secondary market where investors can buy and sell government securities.
During the Public Offer Period, RTBs will be made available by the Bureau of the Treasury (“BTr”) through the Selling Agents to the following:
Individuals, Corporations, Financial Institutions, Cooperatives, Retirement Funds, Provident Funds, and other Institutional Investors.
