Bonds are the debt instruments through which investors lend money to an issuer such as a government or a company. In return, the issuer pays fixed or periodic interest and repays the principal amount on maturity.
Bonds provide regular interest payments (coupon) at a predefined rate.
Every bond has a fixed maturity date, when the issuer repays the principal.
Bonds are issued by governments, public sector undertakings (PSUs), and private companies.
Bonds are rated by the credit rating agencies that indicate the issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal.
