Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond\u2019s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond\u2019s YTW is not \u201clocked in\u201d until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The \u201clocked in\u201d YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
