According to Bian Xiao's understanding, there are roughly two ways for individuals to buy US Treasury bonds, because they can't buy US Treasury bonds directly at present. One is to set up an overseas account and make purchases through it. The second is to make purchases by investing in QDII funds.
If it is difficult for individuals to establish overseas accounts, it is actually better to choose to invest in QDII foundation. QDII Fund, established in China, is a kind of securities investment fund that can invest in the global market. At present, QDII2 is being actively planned in China, allowing individuals to invest overseas within a certain limit and scope, which means that once it is officially implemented, individuals can directly purchase US Treasury bonds. However, at present QDII2 is only piloted in six cities, and the requirements for individuals are relatively high.
Generally speaking, individuals can now buy US Treasury bonds through overseas accounts and QDII funds.
