What are bonds
A government or company can raise funds for their plans or objectives by issuing bonds to the public.
To put it another way, a bond is an agreement in which a borrower (issuer) offers to lend money to a lender (investor). The borrower makes two main commitments to the lender:
Repayment of the principal will take place at the end of the loan period, as scheduled. Additionally, regular payments of interest at the agreed-upon rate (known as the coupon rate) will be made to the investor during the course of the loan, which amounts to the interest due on the borrowed amount.
How do bonds make money for you?
Bonds, apart from zero coupon bonds, provide a consistent stream of interest payments, referred to as coupon payments. There are various ways the bond issuer can go about this, which depend on the kind of bond. Here are a few cases: Fixed-rate bond – a bond with a consistent coupon rate. Floating rate bond – a bond with a changing coupon, commonly linked to a benchmark interest rate like Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate (BBSW). Zero coupon bond – a bond that does not pay out any interest during its lifetime, but is sold at a significantly lower cost in comparison to its worth at maturity. Although coupons are a fundamental part of the overall profits that investors acquire when investing in bonds, the other source of returns is capital gain. Bonds, in the same way as stocks, are susceptible to market conditions and their worth can move in different directions from the time they are issued until their expiration. Factors influencing the cost of a bond throughout its lifetime will be examined shortly.
