Understanding bonds
How bonds work
A bond is a loan you make to an issuer (government or corporation). They pay you regular coupon payments and return the face value at maturity.
Price vs yield
Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, existing bond prices fall, and vice versa.
Credit risk
Government bonds (Treasuries) carry minimal credit risk. Corporate bonds offer higher yields but with higher risk of default.
Duration
Longer-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes. Short-term bonds provide more stability but typically lower yields.
