Bonds

Corporate Bond

Corporate bonds are debt issued by companies to raise capital. They typically pay higher yields than government bonds but carry default risk. Investment-grade bonds are safer; high-yield (junk) bonds offer higher returns with more risk.

Example

Apple or Microsoft may issue corporate bonds to fund operations.
