Bonds for non-professionals
Non-professionals who wish to invest in bonds should consider bond funds, or other types of fixed-income funds. The fund then buys shares in various bonds on behalf of you as an investor.
Sustainable bonds
DNB is a market leader in the Norwegian market for sustainable bonds. We offer several different types of bonds that are earmarked investments with both an environmental and social positive impact.
Listing of loans through bonds and certificates
Both bond loans and commercial paper loans are convertible fixed-income securities. In principle, these loan products are quite similar, but commercial papers have a shorter term and are usually more standardised than bond loans. The loans normally have an interest-only period and are repaid in full when they fall due.
Who needs bond loans?
Typical issuers of bonds are large corporations, banks, mortgage companies, local councils and county councils. A bond loan can be unsecured, secured or guaranteed by a different company to the issuer. For financial institutions, the bond debt is classified in accordance with its own capital adequacy rules. The classification determines the investors’ status in the event of any breach.
How are bonds traded?
Most bonds and commercial papers are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, Nordic ABM or international marketplaces. This means that they can be traded through banks and private brokerage houses, such as DNB Markets.
