SG Budget Babe June 13, 2024 11 minute read Based off recent market sentiments, the current bond market has been distressing for some investors. But if you think that's a reason to strike off bonds (or bond ETFs) completely, think again. The past few years have been challenging for bond investors as central banks rapidly raised interest rates, which created uncertainty and volatility for both equities and particularly for long-term bonds.

$ABF SG BOND ETF (A35.SG)$Today's closing of 1.098 is lower than the Oct-2018 low of 1.100. At this rate, it may even break the all-time-low of 1.071 on Jan-2013 soon. The recent fall is larger than I expect, esp. when compared to the 10 Yr yield per SG Savings Bond (latest issue: 1.91% pa v. Oct 2018 issue: 2.42% pa). It seems like mkt is expecting inflation to worsen, & will drive up SG interest to a level higher than in 2018.

At 1.098, yield is est to be around 2.2% pa, which is better & more liquid than those 2 or 3 yr endowment products offered by Insurers. It's also better than FD rates, but may not be suitable if u need the monies in 1 to 2 yrs, since u may suffer capital loss when selling. I m vested, & after DCA today at 1.105, my aver cost is still much higher at 1.153. I'll probably have to wait for 3 to 5 yrs for my aver cost to breakeven, during the next interest rate up cycle.

I am not qualified to give any advice. What is suitable for me may not be suitable for you. However, I have further DCA at 1.075, & my next DCA target is at 1.050. I m prepared to hold this till the next interest rate cycle (which could be many years), & collect interest in the meantime.

That's not the only one, almost all bond ETF, Fund are falling due to interest rate hike trend. Guess have to keep for years to see this up again.....
