Hi,

I'm a Belgian Investor. From the Belgian state, I can only get bonds with 3, 5 and 8 years of maturity. Would it be ok to hold bonds with a three year maturity as cash?

Thanks

Never mind, it seems they only released bonds with five years maturity over the last few years...

In any case, there are American investors here who buy 3-year notes.
Hopefully, they'll offer them again in the future in Belgium.
Cheers!

Buy five equal tranches to improve liquidity.
