Bonds are debt instruments through which an investor lends money to an issuer for a defined period, subject to the terms of the particular bond.
Depending on the type of bond, issuer, tenure, coupon structure, and market conditions, bonds can play different roles within an investment portfolio.

What Are Bonds?
When an investor purchases a bond, they are essentially lending money to the issuer.
The issuer may pay interest according to the terms of the bond and repay the principal according to the specified maturity conditions.
Bonds may be issued by governments, public-sector entities, financial institutions, or companies, depending on the instrument.

- Liquidity risk: some bonds may be difficult to sell quickly at a desired price.
- Reinvestment risk: future proceeds may need to be reinvested at different prevailing rates.
