Buying bonds is risky, but compared with other financial investment products, bonds can be said to be investment products with lower risk level. Generally speaking, the credit risk of bonds is the most likely risk, but before buying bonds, the credit risk can be avoided according to the credit rating of bonds. Interest rate risk is the biggest risk affecting bond returns, which is very rare. Because the interest rate changes of banks affect all walks of life, there are usually no indescribable huge interest rate changes.

1. Bond funds, also known as bond funds, refer to funds that invest in bonds. By pooling the funds of many investors, they make portfolio investments in bonds and seek stable returns. Bonds are creditor's rights and debt certificates issued to investors when the government, financial institutions, industrial and commercial enterprises and other institutions directly borrow money from the society to raise funds, and promise to pay interest at a certain interest rate and repay the principal according to the agreed conditions. According to the classification standard of China Securities Regulatory Commission, bond funds refer to funds with more than 80% of fund assets invested in bonds. Bond funds can also put a small amount of money into the stock market. In addition, investing in convertible bonds and issuing new shares are also important channels for bond funds to obtain income. In China, bond funds mainly invest in government bonds, financial bonds and corporate bonds. Usually, bonds provide investors with a fixed return and repay the principal at maturity, and the risk is lower than that of stocks. Therefore, compared with stock funds, bond funds have the characteristics of stable income and low risk.

2. The main difference between money funds and bond funds lies in the different investment objects. Money fund is an open-end fund, which invests in the money market, mainly investing in bonds, central bank bills, repurchase and other short-term wealth management products with high security; Bond funds are funds that invest in bonds, mainly treasury bonds, financial bonds and corporate bonds. The income of the money fund is only higher than the interest rate of bank time deposits, but there is no interest tax. You can redeem it at any time, and generally you will receive the funds the next day after applying for redemption. Therefore, the money fund is very suitable for units and individuals who pursue low risk, high liquidity and stable income. These two products have their own advantages. As the king of cash management, money fund has high security, high liquidity and stable income, which is similar to "quasi-savings" and always blooms the charm of investment. According to the data of Galaxy Securities Fund Research Center, as of July 29th, 20 14, the average annual income of 49 A-level money funds in 20 14 was 1.8354%.
