Chancellor A asked:


I’m thinking of buying a $2000 bond from the treasury for 30 years. Does anyone know how I will get paid for this? Monthly and when it matures.

    The most recent 30 year T-Bond (long bond) that was issued was T 4.750% 2/15/37. This bond will mature on February 15, 2037 and pays semi-annual coupon using a bond equivalent yield (BEY) of 4.750%. Therefore, every six months on 2/15 and 8/15 it will pay a coupon of $23.75 per thousand of face. If you buy $2000 of the long bond, you would receive $47.50 every six months.
