A type of debt security that is issued by a firm and sold to potential investors. In this system, the company receives the capital it needs, and the investors are paid a pre-established number of interest payments (with a fixed or variable interest rate). When the bond expires (or “reaches maturity”), payments cease and the original investment is returned to the initial investors.
