Commonwealth Government Securities (CGS) are issued by the Australian Office of Financial Management (AOFM). AGBs pay semi-annual coupons and are considered risk-free in Australia. They are available through the ASX (maturities 1–30 years) via Exchange-traded AGBs (ETABs).
When market yield rises above the coupon rate, the bond trades at a discount (price < face value). When yield falls below coupon, bond trades at a premium (price > face value). Duration measures interest rate sensitivity.
