08:28 AM EDT, 08/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Qualcomm (QCOM) , Home Depot (HD) , T-Mobile (TMUS), United Health (UNH), and Meta Platforms (META) corporate bonds have been acquired by President Donald Trump since he returned to office in January, according to a White House disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics on Tuesday.

The document disclosed over 500 transactions.

Trump bought debt in tranches of at least $500,000 each from Qualcomm (QCOM), Home Depot (HD), United Health and T-Mobile and at least $250,000 of Meta debt, all in February, the disclosure said.

The acquisitions also include tax-advantageous municipal bonds issued by local and state governments and transportation authorities.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
