Bonds

A bond is a loan you give to a company or government. They pay you regular interest, and give back your main money amount at the end. Key terms include face value, coupon rate, and maturity. 

How Bonds Work

• Lending money: You act as the bank when you buy a bond.

• Interest (Coupon): The borrower pays you extra cash at set times, like every six months.

• Getting paid back: When the bond hits its final end date (maturity), you get your original money back. 

Main Types of Bonds

• Government Bonds: Issued by countries, which are very safe. Local options include Singapore Savings Bonds.

  
  

• Corporate Bonds: Issued by businesses. They can pay more, but have higher risk.

1. Structure Debt and Corporate Bonds Safely

Issuing corporate bonds requires navigating complex regulatory landscapes overseen by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Bestar assists your firm through every structural milestone:

• Strategic Deal Advisory: Bestar evaluates your capital structure to determine if issuing corporate bonds is more tax-efficient than equity financing.

• Balance Sheet Optimization: Bestar structures debt to improve financial presentation and boost investor credibility.

2. Streamline Bond Accounting and Bookkeeping

Managing periodic coupon payments, amortization, and bond premiums requires precision. Errors lead to regulatory penalties and damaged investor trust.

For enterprises holding investment portfolios of government or corporate bonds, managing risk and valuation is essential.
