Treasury Notes
Treasury Notes (T-Notes) are government debt securities issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Investors buy T-Notes as a way to lend money to the government, which uses the funds for various public projects. In return, investors receive periodic interest payments, known as coupon payments, and the principal amount back at maturity, typically ranging from 2 to 10 years. T-Notes are considered low-risk investments because they are backed by the government’s full faith and credit, making them a popular choice for those seeking stable returns.
