Trade Bonds with Saxo Bank

Saxo Bank supports offline trading of a wide range of Sovereign, Government and Corporate Bonds in US dollars, the euro and the British pound through direct telephone and online access to specialist dealers. Simple e-mail orders can also be placed. Bond positions can then be monitored online in real-time through Saxo Bank’s trading platforms.

Deposit Investment Collateral in Bonds

Saxo Bank allows up to 100% of Bond collateral to be used for trading margin products, such as in the online Forex market and for leveraged CFD trading. Existing Bonds can also be deposited with Saxo Bank as margin collateral – the value of the Bond available for margin trading depends on the bond rating.

About Bond investment

Offering an alternative in times of unpredictable or stagnant equity and currency markets, Bonds can be an important and conservative capital preservation component of an investment portfolio.

Bond trading made easy

With Saxo Bank, clients can place an order for Bonds online by using the Dealer Chat function on Saxo Bank’s trading platforms and asking for "Bonds" or by just e-mailing fixedincome@saxobank.com with the Client ID, ISIN code and amount in cash or nominal value of the purchase. All Bonds are traded offline, but can be monitored on Saxo Bank’s online platforms.

Saxo Bank accepts market orders on all Bond positions, but limit orders are not currently available. If clients are unsure what collateral value a Bond has, they can e-mail fixedincome@saxobank.com or ask their sales representative to contact Risk Management.

A wide range of Bonds are available through Saxo Bank, and clients are able to search through a full list by currency and maturity. For availability of other Bonds and pricing, clients can contact the Fixed Income Desk.
When a Bond pays out ‘coupon’, the cash will be credited to the account in accordance with normal settlement procedures.
