They are exposed to various risks typical of bond investments, including liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, inflation risk, and potential tax liabilities. Fractional Bonds also carry additional risks including that they are only available on Public and cannot be transferred to other brokerages. The value of these investments may be less than the original cost at the time of redemption. Typically, bonds with higher risk yields carry greater risk of default. Fractional Bonds are only bought and sold by a single market participant, Moment Markets. Bonds may be available from different brokers or dealers at prices different than those displayed. All prices are subject to change without prior notice. Public Investing earns a fee on every fractional bond trade.
