Abstract
Profiling non-systematic risk for a bond investor, the case describes lottery bond issues by the Swedish National Debt Office (SNDO). Swedish lottery bonds are a specific type of financial fixed income instrument for Swedish retail investors. The distinctive feature of lottery bonds is that, unlike traditional institutional bonds, the normally guaranteed interest - the coupon - here only is paid as 'wins' to bondholders selected in drawings. The case takes place in March 2003, when Anders Holmlund, head of analysis, is reviewing the proposal for the next lottery bond issue. While reviewing the features of the bond issue, he also considers the larger picture: What are the benefits to the Debt Office of issuing lottery bonds, especially in view of a recently launched Internet-based sales system that allows retail investors to take part in government bond auctions?
