What is a bond?

A bond is what’s called a ‘debt instrument’. When you purchase a bond, you’re essentially lending money to the person or institution issuing that debt.

Bond issuers borrow funds for a defined period of time at a fixed interest rate. When you purchase a bond, you’ll know in advance how much money you are going to receive in interest and when you will get back the amount you’ve lent.
