What Are German Schatz Bonds — the mechanics
Think of Schatz as Germany’s 2-year. They track ECB rate expectations more tightly than a 30-year bund. Useful as euro cash-plus, not as a long duration bet.
Schatz (Bundesschatzanweisungen) are the short federal line, about two years. They are the ECB-policy end of the German curve, not the 10-year bund in miniature.
Price volatility is smaller than a 30-year bund. Reinvestment is more frequent. Credit is the same issuer.
Money-market funds and banks use Schatz as high-quality short paper. Households can hold them; they should not expect 10-year bund yields.
Official sources (Germany — Bunds)
Primary statistics and prospectuses for Germany — Bunds are published by the issuer, not by this newsroom. The labelled links at the end of this page go to those official sites (DMO, TreasuryDirect, Finanzagentur, MEF, AFT, SNB or ECB as relevant).
Our live board is a teaching overlay: dated prints, named sources, estimated ISIN lines. It is not a replacement for the issuer’s calendar.
Pikat kryesore
- Schatz (Bundesschatzanweisungen) are the short federal line, about two years.
- Prices and yields change. When this site quotes them, it dates them on the live board.
- Credit of a G7 government in its own currency is not the same as a stable screen price, and not the same as a bank deposit.
Pyetje të shpeshta
- Is Schatz the same as a savings ‘Schätzchen’ product?
- No. Schatz here means the federal 2-year government security, not a retail savings brand.
