Firstly, you should take a look at our range of XTBs, selected from some of Australia’s biggest companies.

When considering which XTBs meet your investment objectives you may want to consider:

• What yield are you looking for?
• How long do you wish to invest for?
• Your preference for fixed or floating rate bonds

Planning your investment

Use our Cash Flow Tool to plan your investment. Calculate when you will receive your  income and the date that you will receive the face value of your bonds back when they mature.

High Yield (5 XTBs) Cash Flow results:

Always read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for the XTBs you are going to invest in.

You should also know the brokerage fee. Depending on your broker, this can range from 0.10% to 1%, depending on the size of the transaction. If you’re unsure, speak to your broker to confirm their brokerage rate.

Trade using your broker of choice: Investing in XTBs is just like investing in shares. There’s no minimum investment amount and no additional paperwork. To trade, just find the 6 digit code for the XTB you want to invest in and use it to find the XTB on your broker platform. The YTM codes can be found in a number of places on the XTB website, including the XTB profiles pages, Available XTBs table and in the Cash Flow Tool.

All XTB codes begin with YTM. e.g. the code for the AGL Energy XTB is: YTMAGL.

Online brokers:

You can trade XTBs through any broker that allows you to trade securities on the ASX.

Key online brokers

XTBs are also available on other brokerage platforms. If your broker is not listed above, please contact them to check how you can invest in XTBs.
