The tenure<\/strong> of a bond refers to the length of time\u2014or lifespan\u2014associated with the bond. It dictates how long the issuer is obligated to pay regular interest and return the principal to the investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have been introduced to bonds recently, you may find that one of the terms frequently used is bond tenure. The term may seem very technical initially, but the concept behind it is pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of bond tenure can be likened to the tenure of a loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In buying a bond, you are making a loan of money to the issuing company, government agency, or institution. In essence, the tenure of the bond is the period that you will keep your investment until you receive back the initial investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, the bond tenure is the time from when the bond was issued until the time when it matures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is necessary to understand bond tenure since it influences your investment horizon, liquidity, interest rate risk, and expected yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
