About SGS Bonds
SGS Bonds pay the fixed coupon (3.00% in this issue's case) semi-annually on face value until maturity. The cutoff yield is what the auction priced at — it reflects the market's required return and changes at each reopening. Holding to maturity returns face value; selling earlier in the secondary market exposes you to price fluctuation as rates move.
