3 Year Government Bonds Return Rate
Government bonds are always issued by the government and in the currency of that particular country. So, in the US, government bonds are issued by the US government in dollars. The bonds can be issued either by the federal government or the municipal government. These bonds mature at different time periods. |

The 3 year government bonds' return rate is determined by the government when the bonds are issued. However, investors should be prepared for certain risks while investing in bonds. One of the risks is inflation wherein once the bond is redeemed, the spending power could be lowered as a result of the inflation. Nonetheless, the benefits like receiving interest payments and being assured of the capital repayment far outweigh the risks involved.
Some federal government bonds include savings bonds, Treasury bills, Treasury bonds, Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) and Treasury notes.
As mentioned earlier, the return rate is determined at the time of issuing the bond. However, here is a look at the 3 year US Treasury Note return for a few months.
For August 2009 the return value would be 1.650
For September 2009, the return rate would be 1.46
For October 2009, the return rate would be 1.51
For November 2009, the return would be 1.62
For December 2009, the return would be 1.75
For January 2010, the return rate would be 1.93
For February 2010, the return would be 2.10
And for March 2010, the return would be 2.30
It is important to note that the above mentioned return rate is a forecast and there could be some change when the government actually pays out interest on that particular government bond.
