Public.com has just launched its BOND ACCOUNT. Lock-in interest rates of 6% or higher (as of 9/30/24) by signing up today!
With as little as $1,000, the bond account allows you to buy a diversified portfolio of bonds and lock in your yield even if the Federal Reserve cuts rates.
It only takes a couple of minutes, get started today at Public.com/chitchatstocks and open up a bond fund today!
A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more.
