Why choose a Treasury Bill?

Like a bond, Treasury Bills are another form of an I.O.U. from the government. However, Treasury Bills (or “T-Bills”) typically have much shorter terms than bonds. T-Bills are sold at a discounted rate and can be cashed in at face value upon maturity. For example, you might buy an $800 T-Bill for $780. At maturity, you are still paid the face value of $800.

U.S. Treasuries are secured (or backed) by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government as to the timely payment of principal and interest. Guarantees do not pertain to a portfolio, mutual fund or variable annuity holding such securities. Government bonds and Treasury Bills are guaranteed by the US government as to the timely payment of principal and interest and, if held to maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and fixed principal value.
