Hi,

A 30 year bond's coupon is paid in the terms of 30 years and then Face value is being paid. So the chances of default is more in 30 years compared to 1 year T bill. In T bill, investor can get back its investment in only 1 year itself.So 30 year treasury bond is more riskier than a 1 year T bill..

Thanks
