What is #bond ?
Bonds are issued by governments and corporations when they want to raise money. By buying a bond, investor is giving the issuer a loan, and issuer agrees to pay the investor back the face value of the loan on a specific date, and to pay periodic interest as well.
What is bond yield ?
Bond yield, on the other hand, is the return that an investor gets on that bond or on a particular government security.
