on treasuries
30-year Treasury Bonds
Treasury Bonds with a maturity of 30-years are auctioned every six months. Once the mainstay of pensions and conservative investors and the bellwether of Treasuries, the 30-year bond was replaced by the 10-year treasury as the benchmark used by investors. Although pensions still look to these bonds, projecting the health of the economy (hence the return on this investment less the impact of inflation) is incredibly difficult over such a long time frame. Many now prefer the shorter 10-year issue.
The re-introduction of the bond in 2006 offers investors a long term view of the American economy while it attempts to promote investor confidence.
Traditionally, these bonds have offered a way to diversify an investment portfolio, help finance education expenses, and give retirees a steady income.
