Are there any gains from bond funds over the weekend?
Bond funds make money on weekends. However, because the weekend is a rest time, even if the bond fund generates income, the bond price will not change, so the investor's account will not show the change of income. Generally speaking, the bond fund account will not change before Monday's trading day.
Sources of income of bond funds:
Interest income: bonds are essentially "IOUs", and you have to pay interest when you borrow money. Therefore, interest income is the most important and stable source of income for funds that mainly invest in bonds.
Capital gains: bonds also have prices, just like stocks. This price is not fixed, it will fluctuate with the market. If there is fluctuation, it means that there is a chance to gain income. Experienced fund managers will seize the opportunity to increase additional income for the fund through the operation of buying low and selling high.
Leveraged income: For example, fund managers think that there are still bonds that cannot be sold in the short term, so it is better to "revitalize" them and let them play a greater role. Then at this time, it can be mortgaged to others for financing, and the accumulated funds will continue to be invested in the bond market. This is equivalent to enlarging the principal, and by paying the pledged interest, you can get more opportunities to obtain income.
