FAQ

Fixed income, answered

Fixed income covers debt securities that pay a defined return — a coupon or discount — over a set term, then return principal at maturity. Bonds, commercial paper, and sukuk are all fixed-income instruments prized for predictable cash flow and lower volatility than equities.

Coupon-bearing bonds pay periodic interest (often semi-annually), commercial paper is issued at a discount and redeems at par, and sukuk pay periodic profit from underlying assets. All payments are calculated and credited automatically through the ContiSX CSD.

Yes. ContiSX operates a liquid secondary market where you can sell holdings before maturity at prevailing market prices. Prices move inversely to interest rates, so the sale value may be above or below par.

Green and social bonds ring-fence proceeds for verified climate or social projects, adding measurable impact to income. Sukuk are Sharia-compliant, asset-backed certificates that pay periodic profit instead of interest — ethical fixed income for a wider investor base.

Risk varies by issuer. Sovereign FGN bonds carry the lowest credit risk, while corporate bonds and commercial paper pay more to compensate for credit risk. All issues on ContiSX carry disclosure and, where applicable, independent ratings so you can price risk accurately.
