Are you the type that wants to diversify one’s fixed income investment portfolio? Treasury Notes and Treasury Bonds are considered the safest. Treasury Notes and Bonds, FXTNs and RTBs as they are commonly called, are medium- to long-term government securities that pay interest regularly (known as interest coupon payments) . This is a relatively risk-free investment as these are direct obligations of the Republic of the Philippines denominated in the local currency.

You can enjoy the high yields of this security with a minimum investment of Php 500,000. You get paid regularly in interest until the bond matures or until you decide to sell the security back to PNB before it matures.
