30 – Treasury Bills — Marketable Treasuries
They are debt financing instruments of the United States Federal government. Treasury bills (or T-Bills) mature in one year or less. They do not pay interest prior to maturity; instead they are sold at a discount of the par value. Many regard Treasury bills as the least risky investment available to investors. Regular weekly T-Bills are commonly issued with maturity dates of 28 days (or 4 weeks, about a month), 91 days (or 13 weeks, about 3 months), 182 days (or 26 weeks, about 6 months), and 364 days (or 52 weeks, about 1 year). en.wikipedia.org
