What are bonds?
Bonds are financial instruments that enable governments and corporates to raise capital. Investors will loan money to the bond-issuer and, in return, receive a series of interest payments at specified dates. At maturity, the bond-issuer will repay the original sum lent – known as the bond’s ‘principal’.
Bonds can be bought and sold on the secondary market like other financial securities – meaning that their prices fluctuate. High interest rates, for example, tend to make bonds less attractive by providing other opportunities to earn returns with low risk. For this reason, interest rates and bond prices tend to have an inverse relationship.
How to trade bonds
With us, you can trade on bonds using CFDs.
When trading, you’ll never take ownership of an asset, and will instead take a position on the bond futures market either rising in value or falling.
But, please remember that all trading incurs risk. This is amplified when trading on leverage. Learn more about how to manage your risk.

Bond trading costs
- CFD trading costs
| Margin* | Minimum margin requirement of 20% |
| Spread | From 1 point |
*Leverage can magnify both your profits and losses as they’ll be based on the full exposure of the trade, not just the margin required to open it. This means losses as well as profits could far outweigh your margin, so always ensure you’re trading within your means.
