Keys to Success Related Links Online Calculators Discussion Boards Ask a Foolish Question Index Funds What Is a Bond? Ever borrow money from someone? Sure you have. It happens all the time. Forget your lunch money? Wanna buy a soda? Need cab fare? People borrow money every day for all kinds of reasons. Much like people, large organizations such as corporations, the federal government, and state and local governments all need to borrow money occasionally. Unlike you and me, it is awfully difficult for these organizations to get as much money as they need just with the promise to repay it the next day. Instead, they have to agree not only to pay back the amount they borrowed, but also to pay a little extra in the form of a fee (interest) for the privilege of borrowing the money. Bonds are a form of indebtedness that is sold to the public in set increments, normally in the neighborhood of $1000. In return for loaning the debtor the money, the lender gets a piece of paper that stipulates how much was lent, the agreed-upon interest rate, how often interest will be paid, and the term of the loan.

FULL TEXT PAGES: Bonds, not James Bonds. Investing in Bonds! by Ann Albright July 22, 2005 Bonds can be a wise investment for your portfolio, but as with any investment, you need to know what you’re getting yourself into. For that very reason, here’s a simple primer on bonds: Q: Why would I want to invest in bonds? A: In a nutshell, security. Bonds can give you a level of security, because typically, there is a steady stream of payments and repayment of principal. You can predict a level of dependable income with bonds that can provide more stability to your portfolio. Q: Where does this security for bonds come from? A: Unless an issuer defaults, your bond will be redeemed at par if you hold it until its maturity date. Its value does not depend on current interest rates. It’s a hedge against disaster. Q: How much money do I need to invest in bonds? A: As little as $1000 is all you need to invest in bonds. Generally, though, because of the security, most bonds are sold in $5000 increments.

Income Investing How Bonds Work When you buy a bond, the money you pay is used as a loan by the issuer. Common bond issuers are: The federal government (government bonds) Municipalities (municipal bonds, called munis) Private companies (corporate bonds). At the end of a given period of time - referred to as the bond's "maturity" - the issuer pays back the amount it borrowed (the "face value" or "par value" of the bond). The bond's coupon rate No one would buy a bond if the only incentive were getting back the money after a period of time. The "income" in fixed-income investing is the interest you receive at a fixed rate, called the "coupon rate" or just the "coupon." Generally, the longer the maturity, the higher the coupon, and vice versa: Short-maturity bonds, called "short-term" bonds, can be expected to have lower coupons. (Maturity less than 5 years) Medium-maturity bonds, called "intermediate-term" bonds, can be expected to offer slightly higher interest rates. (Maturity 5 to 10 years)
