Government Bonds

Government and semi-government bonds are issued by the Commonwealth and state governments respectively and are among the lowest risk investments in Australian capital markets. They are like no other security in that they are not linked to the performance of the economy and in that way provide diversification and a hedge against economic downturn in a portfolio. Australian Commonwealth Government bonds are considered 'risk free' which is important for those investors that want capital certainty and a regular income.

All government and semi-government bonds are very liquid so would contribute to a higher level of liquidity in most portfolios. They can also be traded in small parcels.
