A marketable longer-term debt instrument usually administered by a trustee.

Bonds typically require the issuer to repay the amount borrowed plus interest over a designated period of time.

The current market yield on the bond is both the market rate of return to the debt investor and the pre-tax market cost to the issuer of debt capital.

Issuers of bonds include a wide range of corporate and public sector entities, including central governments.
