Technically yes, but you only realize it if you sell. And if you hold until it matures, then there is no loss, since you get everything back (barring default).
But as other commenters pointed out, there are only very few specific cases where you would need to mark this to market and have it matter enough for you to become a forced seller.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoI would argue that technically no, you have not lost money. It is a theoretical risk of loss until you are actually forced to withdraw early. The realization of the loss is contingent on an event that has not come to pass.
