Welcome to our post on "Investing In Singapore Government Securities" this 2013.
Before investing in Singapore Government Securities, or SGS as they are known by their acronym, let us review what are these entities.
Singapore Government Securities (SGS) are marketable debt instruments of the Government of Singapore.
These debt instruments take the form of either Treasury bills (T-bills) or bonds and are backed by the full faith and credit of the Singapore Government.
As the Government does not use debt to finance its expenditure, SGS are issued to meet banks’ needs for a risk-free asset in their liquid-asset portfolios and as part of a broader strategy to grow Singapore into an international centre for debt capital management.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore issues SGS on behalf of the Government, in its capacity as the Government’s fiscal agent.
Thus most people consider putting a part of their investment portfolio for investing in Singapore Government Securities because of the security offered by such investments.
You should consider investing in Singapore Government Securities as part of your strategy to boost the defensive quality of your investment capital.
