What exactly is the distinction between SGS and SSB?
Both are government debt products, but the SSB is being introduced to make the SGS more accessible to ordinary investors (mom and pops especially). To put things in perspective, the SSB minimum is $500, whereas the SGS minimum is $1000. The actual method used to compute the SSB rates can be found on the website, and it is based on the average SGS yields from the previous month. SSB’s annual returns for a single month’s issue fluctuate from year to year. Returns on SGS are affected by the economy and the length of time till maturity. The annual returns on SGS bonds are fixed for the life of the bond.
-Types of SGS: 1) Invoices (less than 1 year to maturity) Bonds (No. 2) (more 1 year to maturity, up to 30 years)
Liquidity is a difficult concept to convey, but I’ll do my best. You must sell your bond on the SGX/secondary market for SGS. You can’t sell it if there isn’t a willing buyer. You must also determine whether the selling price is one you are willing to accept, taking into consideration the transaction and brokerage expenses you will incur. Before the transaction is completed, there is a period of waiting. You can redeem your SSB early, but your money will only be refunded to you the next month, thus whether you redeem on July 2 or July 27, you will only get your principle back in August. You’ll also have to pay $2 if you want to redeem your ticket early. Although neither instrument is particularly liquid, I believe SSB is still quite good.
Both are low-risk, with SGS receiving a AAA rating. Because SSB is based on SGS, its rating can also be regarded as AAA.
When a bond reaches maturity, how do you redeem it?
Your link has finally matured after three decades of waiting. If you wish to cash in your bonds, you must follow specific requirements depending on the type of bond you have (paper or electronic).
- You can cash electronic savings bonds on the TreasuryDirect website, and you’ll get your money in two days.
- Most major financial institutions, such as your local bank, accept paper savings bonds.
If you can’t find your fully matured paper savings bond, you can have it electronically replaced by going to the TreasuryDirect website and filling out the necessary papers.
You’ll need the serial number of the bond, which serves as a unique identity. If this isn’t accessible, you’ll need other information, such as the exact month and year the bond was purchased, the owner’s Social Security number, and the names and addresses of the bond’s owners. Even if you’ve misplaced the bond, it’s possible to find it with a few efforts.
You can keep your bond after it matures, but you will not get any extra interest. On the one hand, because you can’t spend a savings bond without redeeming it, the value of your bonds is considered “secure.” On the other side, if your bond isn’t redeemed, you’ll miss out on additional sources of interest. With current inflation rates, it doesn’t make much sense to hold a bond that pays nothing and is losing money to inflation every day.
Finally, regardless of whether you redeem your bonds or not, you will owe taxes on them when they mature. In the year of maturity, make sure to include all earned and previously unreported interest on your tax return. If you don’t, you may be subject to a tax penalty for underpayment.
When should I cash in my bonds?
In about 30 years, most savings bonds stop earning interest (or achieve maturity). A savings bond can be redeemed as soon as one year after purchase, but it’s normally best to wait at least five years so you don’t miss out on the last three months of interest. If you redeem a bond after 24 months, for example, you will only receive 21 months of interest. It’s usually better to wait until your bond reaches full maturity, depending on the interest rate and your individual financial demands.
