A little explanation about Treasury Bond:

Treasury bonds, called T-bonds for short, are often referred to as long bonds because they take the longest to mature of the government-issued securities. They are offered to investors in a term of 30 years to maturity.

Purchasers of T-bonds receive a fixed-interest payment every six months. They pay the highest interest rates of the three types of government securities because they require the longest term of the investment. For the same reason, the prices at which they are issued fluctuate more than the other forms of government investment.

Treasury bonds are issued at monthly online auctions held directly by the Treasury, where they are sold in multiples of $100.

A bond's price and its yield are determined during the auction. After that, T-bonds are traded actively in the secondary market and can be purchased through a bank or broker.

Individual investors often use T-bonds to keep a portion of their retirement savings risk-free, to provide a steady income in retirement, or to set aside savings for a child's education or other major expenses. Investors must hold their T-bonds for a minimum of 45 days before they can be sold on the secondary market.

Buying bonds can prove a little trickier than buying stocks, because of the initial amount required to begin investing. The face value of most bonds is $1,000, though there’s a way around that. You have a few options on where to buy them:

From a broker: You can buy bonds from an online broker — and all of NerdWallet’s picks for the best online brokers offer this service. You’ll be buying from other investors looking to sell. You may also be able to receive a discount off the bond’s face value by buying a bond directly from the underwriting investment bank in an initial bond offering.

Through an exchange-traded fund: An ETF typically buys bonds from many different companies, and some funds are focused on short-, medium-, and long-term bonds, or provide exposure to certain industries or markets. A fund is a great option for individual investors because it provides immediate diversification and you don’t have to buy in thousand-dollar increments.

Directly from the government: The federal government has set up a program on the TD website so investors can buy government bonds directly without having to pay a fee to a broker or other middleman.
