Questions

Why does a state bond's price change?

The coupon is fixed, but market rates move. When rates rise, an older bond with a lower coupon is less attractive and its price falls until its yield to maturity matches the market; when rates fall, the price rises.

How much can the price move? Example ST.DLUHOP. 4,85/57

The bond due in 2057 has a modified duration of 15.33: if market rates rise by 1 percentage point, its price falls by about 15.3%. Today you buy it at 83.05% of its nominal value; at maturity you get 100%.

What is the yield to maturity?

The yearly return you get if you buy the bond at today's price and hold it to maturity: the coupons plus the gap between the price and 100% at maturity. Before fees and tax.

Can I lose money on a state bond?

If you hold it to maturity, the state repays 100% of its nominal value. If you sell earlier, you get that day's market price, which can be lower than what you paid.

How do I buy a state bond?

Through a broker or bank that trades bonds on the secondary market, e.g. Patria Finance or Česká spořitelna. One piece has a nominal value of 10,000 CZK; each broker's price list sets the minimum trade and the fees. Prices are over the counter and indicative; the broker confirms the exact price.

How is it taxed?

The coupon: the yield of state bonds issued after the amendment in force from 2021 is tax free for individuals (§ 4(1)(x) of the Income Tax Act); for issues from before, 15% is still withheld from the coupon until maturity – an issue's terms say which it is. The gain on a sale or at maturity after holding over 3 years is tax free (the time test); otherwise it is taxed in annex 2.
