International Bonds

A bond is fixed-income security where a lender comes into a contract with the borrower. The borrower agrees to make payment and interest at a specified date in the future or on maturity period. It is a type of financing that helps to fulfill and meet obligations. Many people invest in bonds because it is a simple form of security.
