Cagamas Fixed Rate Bonds
These bonds have tenures of 1.5 to 10 years and carry a fixed coupon rate which is determined at the point of issuance, based on the tenders submitted by the Principal Dealers. Interest on these bonds is paid half-yearly. The redemption of the bonds is at nominal value together with the interest due on maturity date.

Cagamas Floating Rate Bonds
These instruments have a tenure of up to 10 years and an adjustable interest rate pegged to the 3-month or 6-month KLIBOR.
