Analysis of the Effect of SBI Interest Rates, Bond Rating, Liquidity, and Maturity of Yields to Maturity (Yield to Maturity) Corporate Bonds

Introduction

The yield to maturity (YTM) is a crucial concept in the bond market, as it represents the total return an investor can expect from a bond investment. In the context of corporate bonds listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), understanding the factors that influence YTM is essential for investors and decision-makers. This study aims to analyze the simultaneous and partial effects of SBI interest rates, bond ratings, liquidity, and maturity on YTM corporate bonds in the 2010-2011 period.

Methodology

This study employed a purposive sampling method to obtain 34 company samples with a total of 237 observations. Data analysis was carried out using classic assumptions and hypothesis testing with multiple linear regression methods. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the factors that influence YTM corporate bonds in Indonesia.

Effect of SBI Interest Rates

SBI interest rates are an important indicator of broader economic conditions. An increase in SBI interest rates tends to increase loan costs, which can cause a decrease in demand for bonds. When interest rates rise, yields from other investment instruments also increase, so that existing corporate bonds become less attractive. However, in this study, the influence of SBI interest rates on YTM was not significant. This can be caused by other factors that are more dominant in determining the current YTM value.

Bond Rating

Bond rating functions as a reflection of the risk of failure. The higher the rating, the lower the risk, and vice versa. This study found that the bond rating had a significant negative effect on YTM. This means that bonds with higher ratings tend to have lower returns, because investors are willing to receive smaller returns for investments that are considered safer.

Liquidity

Liquidity reflects how easy bonds can be traded without affecting price. Although liquidity is expected to have a positive impact on YTM, the results show that liquidity has no significant influence. This may be caused by the fact that investors are more focused on risk factors and yields offered by bonds compared to how liquid the instrument.

Maturity

Maturity or period until maturity also plays an important role in determining YTM. Usually, the longer maturity, the higher the yield offered as compensation for greater risk. However, in this study, maturity did not have a significant effect on YTM. This could be because investors prioritize other factors that further influence their investment decisions.

Conclusion

This study provides important insights for investors and decision-makers in the bond market. Although SBI interest rates, liquidity, and maturity do not show a partial significant effect, bond rating plays an important role in determining YTM. Therefore, investors must consider the bond rating carefully when making investment decisions. This study also suggested to conduct further research to identify other variables that might be more influential in the context of the bond market in Indonesia.

Implications for Investors and Decision-Makers

The findings of this study have significant implications for investors and decision-makers in the bond market. Firstly, investors must consider the bond rating carefully when making investment decisions, as it has a significant negative effect on YTM. Secondly, investors should not rely solely on liquidity as a factor in determining YTM, as it has no significant influence. Finally, investors should prioritize other factors that influence their investment decisions, such as risk factors and yields offered by bonds.

Limitations of the Study

This study has several limitations that should be noted. Firstly, the study only analyzed the effects of SBI interest rates, bond ratings, liquidity, and maturity on YTM corporate bonds in the 2010-2011 period. Secondly, the study only used a purposive sampling method, which may not be representative of the entire population of corporate bonds listed on the BEI. Finally, the study only analyzed the effects of these variables on YTM, and did not consider other factors that may influence YTM.

Future Research Directions

This study suggests several future research directions. Firstly, researchers should conduct further research to identify other variables that might be more influential in the context of the bond market in Indonesia. Secondly, researchers should analyze the effects of these variables on YTM in different time periods and market conditions. Finally, researchers should consider other factors that influence YTM, such as credit ratings and market conditions.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study provides important insights into the factors that influence YTM corporate bonds in Indonesia. The findings of this study have significant implications for investors and decision-makers in the bond market. However, the study also has several limitations that should be noted. Future research directions include identifying other variables that might be more influential in the context of the bond market in Indonesia, analyzing the effects of these variables on YTM in different time periods and market conditions, and considering other factors that influence YTM.
Q&A: Understanding the Effect of SBI Interest Rates, Bond Rating, Liquidity, and Maturity on YTM Corporate Bonds

Introduction

In our previous article, we analyzed the effect of SBI interest rates, bond ratings, liquidity, and maturity on YTM corporate bonds in Indonesia. In this article, we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the study and its findings.

Q: What is the significance of SBI interest rates in determining YTM?

A: SBI interest rates are an important indicator of broader economic conditions. An increase in SBI interest rates tends to increase loan costs, which can cause a decrease in demand for bonds. When interest rates rise, yields from other investment instruments also increase, so that existing corporate bonds become less attractive.

Q: Why did the study find that SBI interest rates had no significant effect on YTM?

A: The study found that SBI interest rates had no significant effect on YTM because other factors are more dominant in determining the current YTM value. This could be due to the fact that investors are more focused on risk factors and yields offered by bonds compared to SBI interest rates.

Q: What is the role of bond rating in determining YTM?

A: Bond rating functions as a reflection of the risk of failure. The higher the rating, the lower the risk, and vice versa. This study found that the bond rating had a significant negative effect on YTM, meaning that bonds with higher ratings tend to have lower returns because investors are willing to receive smaller returns for investments that are considered safer.

Q: Why did the study find that liquidity had no significant effect on YTM?

A: The study found that liquidity had no significant effect on YTM because investors are more focused on risk factors and yields offered by bonds compared to liquidity. Liquidity reflects how easy bonds can be traded without affecting price, but it may not be as important as other factors in determining YTM.

Q: What is the relationship between maturity and YTM?

A: Maturity or period until maturity also plays an important role in determining YTM. Usually, the longer maturity, the higher the yield offered as compensation for greater risk. However, in this study, maturity did not have a significant effect on YTM, which could be because investors prioritize other factors that further influence their investment decisions.

Q: What are the implications of the study for investors and decision-makers?

A: The findings of this study have significant implications for investors and decision-makers in the bond market. Investors must consider the bond rating carefully when making investment decisions, as it has a significant negative effect on YTM.
