How to buy bonds

Hi Paul,

I should like to invest in Index Linked Bonds (ILB) and Indexed Annuity Bonds (IAB) but cannot find brokers who offer these instruments.

Can you please advise where to purchase?

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards.

A: Good morning Fred,


Thanks for the question.


You will be able to purchase Australian Government Treasury Indexed Bonds on the ASX from 21 May. All brokers will be able to offer this service – it will just be like buying a share and entering an ASX stock code. The website www.australiangovernmentbonds.com.au provides more details.


You can purchase Waratah Indexed Annuity Bonds (issued by the NSW Government) directly here.


I hope this helps.
