A bond is a security under which the bond issuer owes the bondholders a debt. The issuer pays the holder interest or repays them the principal amount at the maturity date. Companies and governments may use bonds to generate financing for their operations. Unlike stocks, which are another type of security, bondholders are creditors of the company or other institution from which they hold the bond.
