Who is ME?

Bonds are one ways to invest money. The investors or the public have many choices to invest their money. One of the choices is by buying bonds. Buying bonds means the investors lend some money to the issuer of bonds and become the owner of bonds. From bonds, investors get the interest that pay over a fixed term and get repayment of the investment amount or par value when the bonds are mature, while the issuer of bonds gets the cash they need. Bond has life times that fixed at the time of issue. The life time or the term can range from short-term (usually a year or less), intermediate-term (two to ten years), to long-term (30 years or more). Generally, the longer the life of bond, the higher the interest rate that’s offered to make up for the additional risk of tying up the investor’ money for so long a time. The interest of bond paid to the bondholder annually until the life of bond end. At the end of life of bond is the mature time of bond, that means the time of the seller or the issuer of bond repaid the investment amount or the principle of bond to the bondholder.

Bond Certificate

The example of Bond Certificate

The seller of bonds can a company or government. The company, usually prefer to offer or issue bond than issuing stock, because issuing more stock can lessen the value of shares investor that already own, while the government sell bonds, because government is not company that searching profit, so government cannot issuing stock. For company, the money that they get from selling bonds is used to raise company money for invest in growth and the development, while for the government, bonds are the primary way they raise money to fund capital improvements and to run the everyday operations when other revenues like taxes and other fees cannot cover it. Like stock, bonds can trade at the market. For bonds, the investor can sell or buy it at the bond exchange. The bond exchange is called secondary market. This is a place that investors can sell or buy bonds through brokers, similar to the way stocks are. For the secondary trades, the issuer of bonds (company or government) doesn’t get money.
