Before opening an account with 10-Year TIPS, it helps to understand the category itself. The five short sections below explain how bonds work, who they suit, the main risks, where they fit in a plan, and the US regulatory rules.
Bonds are how governments and companies borrow. You lend principal up front, receive coupon payments along the way, and get your principal back at maturity if the issuer stays solvent.
Each bond has a face value, a coupon rate, and a maturity date. The market price changes daily as interest rates move, but the coupon and face value at maturity stay fixed.
Investors who want predictable income, lower volatility than stocks, or who are getting closer to retirement and want to lock in known cash flows.
When market interest rates rise, existing bond prices fall — that's interest rate risk. Corporate bonds also carry credit risk: the issuer can default. Inflation can erode the real value of fixed payments.
Bonds anchor most diversified portfolios as a stabilizer when stocks fall. A common rule of thumb sets the bond allocation roughly equal to your age, though risk tolerance and time horizon trump any rule. In retirement, bond ladders fund near-term spending without forcing equity sales in down markets.
Treasuries are issued by the Treasury Department; corporate and municipal bonds are SEC-registered with prospectuses on EDGAR. FINRA's TRACE system publishes corporate bond trade data. Munis offer federal tax exemption and, for in-state residents, often state and local exemption as well.
