Bank bonds
Bank bonds (fixed-interest bonds)
Heim Global Investor German Branch offers a targeted selection of bank bonds (fixed-interest bonds) designed to provide investors with predictable returns and structured diversification of their assets. Our solutions are based on transparent contractual terms, regular interest payments and clearly defined repayment terms – for a reliable investment.
Product overview - What are bank bonds?
Bank bonds are interest-bearing securities in which investors provide capital to a bank.
These bonds are either issued directly by banks or brokered on behalf of issuers (e.g. banks, companies or government institutions).
In return, investors usually receive:
– Regular interest payments (fixed or variable)
– Repayment of the invested capital on the contractually agreed maturity date
Term (maturity)
Bank bonds have a clearly defined term. Common terms range from 1 to 30 years.
Terms of 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years are frequently encountered. Short-term bonds can also be less than one year, while long-term bonds can have terms of more than 20 years.
If a bond is held until maturity, the invested capital is usually repaid in full – provided the issuer meets its obligations.
Many bank bonds are tradable on the secondary market. This makes it possible to sell them before maturity, although the market price may be subject to fluctuations.
Key benefits
- Stability & predictability: Predictable interest payments, especially for fixed-interest bank bonds.
- Attractive conditions: Fixed or variable interest rate products, tailored to different yield and term preferences.
- Flexible terms: Choice between short, medium and long terms for targeted alignment with your investment goals.
- Diversification: A sensible addition to equities and other asset classes to reduce portfolio risks.
- Transparency: Clear contractual conditions with full disclosure of costs, fees and regulations in the event of early disposal.
Terms & Fees
Our bank bonds are offered on the basis of clearly understandable and documented contractual conditions. These include the interest rate and interest payment frequency, term, possible fees and regulations for early termination or repayment – if provided for.
All relevant costs and scenarios are disclosed transparently so that you can make a well-informed investment decision.
Suitability & Risks
Bank bonds are particularly suitable for investors who value regular income and predictable payment flows.
However, this type of investment also involves risks, including:
– Credit risks of the issuer
– Market risks, in particular price changes if sold before maturity
– Interest rate change risks
– Depending on the product: Liquidity risks
Please note that guaranteed payments are always linked to the solvency of the issuer. A government guarantee only exists if this has been expressly agreed in the contract.
