WHAT IS BOND
A long-term debt instrument issued by a corporation or government. A debt security, under which the bond issuer owes the bond holders a debt and, depending on the terms of the bond, is obliged to pay them interest (the coupon) and/or to repay the principal at a later date, termed the maturity. Thus a bond is a form of 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. Interest is usually payable at fixed intervals (semiannual, annual, sometimes monthly).

BONDS V/S STOCKS

Bonds and stocks are both securities Stockholders (capital) have an equity stake in the company (i.e. they are owners), whereas bondholders have a creditor stake in the company (i.e. they are lenders). Bonds usually have a defined term, or maturity, after which the bond is redeemed, whereas stocks may be outstanding indefinitely. An exception is an irredeemable bond, such as Perpetual bonds, i.e. a bond with no maturity.

VARIOUS TYPES OF BONDS

PERPETUAL BOND
A bond with no maturity date. Not redeemable but pay a steady stream of interest forever. Similar to stock dividend payments - as they both offer some sort of return for an indefinite period of time.

ZERO COUPON BOND

Makes no periodic interest (coupon) payments but instead is sold at a deep discount from its face value. No interest (coupon) is paid to the bond holders. The difference between issue price (discounted price) and redeemable price (face value) itself acts as interest to bond holders.

VARIOUS TYPES OF BONDS

FLOATING RATE BOND
Coupon rate to be provided to the bond holders is not specified. Coupon rate keeps fluctuating from time to time, with reference to a benchmark rate.

CONVERTIBLE BOND
Bond holder can convert the face value of the bond into shares of common stock in the issuing company or cash of equal value, at an agreed-upon price.

NON ZERO COUPON BOND WITH FINITE MATURITY

Interest (coupon) are paid by the bond issuing company to the bond holder periodically during the maturity period. Upon maturity, the bond can be redeemed into its face value.
