Bond is a form loan ,the holder of the bond is the
lender (creditor), the issuer of the bond is the
borrower (debtor), and the coupon is the
interest. Bonds provide the borrower with
external funds to finance long-term investments
or, in the case of government bond to finance
current expenditure. Certificates of deposit
(CDs) or short term Commercial paper are
considered to be
money market instruments and not bonds.
Bonds are issued by public authorities, credit
institutions and companies .


fixed rate bond
It is a long term debt paper that carries a predetermined
interest rate. The interest rate is known as coupon rate
band interest is payable at specified dates before bond
maturity. Due to the fixed coupon, the market value of a
fixed-rate bond is susceptible to fluctuations in interest
rates, and therefore has a significant amount of interest
rate risk.
Government Bond
These are also called Treasury bond, is issued by a national
government and is not exposed to default risk. It is
characterized as the safest bond, with the lowest interest
rate. A treasury bond is backed by the full faith and credit
of the relevant government
Bearer Bond
This is an official certificate issued without a named holder. In
other words, the person who has the paper certificate can
claim the value of the bond. Often they are registered by a
number to prevent counterfeiting, but may be traded like cash.
Bearer bonds are very risky because they can be lost or stolen.
Especially after federal income tax began in the United States,
bearer bonds were seen as an opportunity to conceal income
or assets. U.S. corporations stopped issuing bearer bonds in
the 1960s, the U.S. Treasury stopped in1982 and state and
local tax-exempt bearer bonds were prohibited in 1983.
Registered bond
It is a bond whose ownership (and any subsequent
purchaser) is recorded by the issuer, or by a transfer agent.. It
is the alternative to a bearer bond. Interest payments, and the
principal upon maturity, are sent to the registered owner.
