Transferable securities

Whatever your reasons for investing, BIL has an impressive selection of products to meet your profile and needs.

Transferable securities

Bonds: considered one of the safest investments

  • A bond is a debt instrument issued by a State, government body or company seeking capital.
  • Characteristics: The minimum investment amount, bond duration and terms of remuneration are predetermined. Two types of bond are available: fixed-rate bonds that offer a coupon (interest) determined when the bond is issued and variable-rate bonds, for which the coupon amount varies in line with the reference interest rates.
  • Risks: These investments are not risk-free: they carry a risk of issuer default both in the case of coupon payment and capital repayment.

Equities: greater risk for better returns

  • A share represents a proportion of a company’s share capital. This capital is remunerated by dividends, resulting from the company’s profits or reserves.
  • Characteristics: Holding shares in a company makes you its owner up to the value of your investment. This status entitles you to dividends.
  • Risks: Your invested capital and dividends are not guaranteed. The share price may be subject to sharp rises or falls depending on the political, economic and/or stock market environment and depending on the company’s level of risk. Should the company experience financial difficulty, you may lose all or a portion of the capital invested. Furthermore, dividends are directly dependent on the company’s performance and on the dividend policy decided at the general meeting of shareholders.
  • Our advice: Equity investments should be for a minimum of six to eight years. You are therefore strongly advised not to use this type of investment using savings that you may need in the short term.
