Additionally, there are issues with an indexed nominal value (OFZ-IN) and variable coupons (OFZ-PK), each with different characteristics and purposes. Key features of liquid OFZ bonds: 1. **Fixed-coupon bonds (OFZ-PD)** – the most popular due to predictable coupon payments, for example, issues maturing in 2034-2041. 2. **Indexed-nominal bonds (OFZ-IN)** – protect against inflation, but their returns are realized at maturity or sale. 3. **Floating-coupon bonds (OFZ-PK)** – highly liquid, such as OFZ 29014, 29024, 29016.
