Fixed Income Securities

At UCB Investment Limited, we are committed to fostering a robust fixed income securities market that supports Bangladesh's ambitious infrastructure development goals. With billions of dollars invested in mega projects expected to come active in the near future, the simultaneous development of both hard and soft infrastructure—particularly in the capital market—is essential. Our expert team continuously works to introduce innovative fixed income securities, structured for financial institutions and corporate entities, ensuring a vibrant bond market that benefits all participants and facilitates substantial fund flows from savers to investors.


Our Fixed Income Securities Offerings

We specialize in arranging and listing a variety of bond types, including:

  • Subordinated Bonds: Designed for financial institutions, these bonds rank lower in claims on assets in the event of liquidation, often providing higher yields.
    • Convertible Bonds: These bonds can be converted into equity at the discretion of the bondholder, allowing for potential upside participation in the company's growth.
      • Non-Convertible Bonds: These bonds provide regular interest payments and cannot be converted into equity, making them a stable investment option.
        • Zero-Coupon Bonds: Bonds: Issued at a discount and maturing at face value, these bonds provide a straightforward investment option for those seeking predictable returns.
          • Islamic Shariah-Based Securities (ISBS): Financial instruments that comply with Islamic law, avoiding interest and speculative activities while promoting profit-sharing and ethical investments.
            • Quasi-equity securities: Financial instruments that have characteristics of both debt and equity, often used to provide funding with flexible repayment terms and potential ownership upside.
              • Perpetual Bonds: These bonds provide investors with ongoing interest payments without a fixed maturity date, offering flexibility for issuers and investors alike.
