What are bonds? In the world of finance and investment, a bond is categorically a fixed income instrument that symbolizes a loan made by an investor to a borrower. The borrowers are typically corporate entities or governments. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states, and national governments to finance projects and operations. To put it simply, when you purchase a bond, you are effectively lending money to the issuer of the bond. Bonds come with details about the payments they will make. These stipulations include: - The end date or the maturity date: This is when the principal amount borrowed should be repaid in full. - Terms of the interest or coupon: It is generally a fixed interest rate that the issuer agrees to pay the bondholder until maturity. For example, let's say a city government issues a bond worth $10,000 with a 5% annual coupon maturing in 10 years. An investor who buys this bond will pay $10,000 upon purchase and receive a 5% interest (i.e., $500) each year. After a decade, the investor will get back the original $10,000.
