What is a bond?

A bond represents money you lend to a company or government entity. This loan amount, referred to as the par value, is repaid at the bond's maturity, along with periodic interest payments known as the coupon.

Benefits of investing in bonds

Income stability

Bonds pay regular interest, which gives you a steady stream of income over time. Having an additional source of income can be helpful in retirement.

Portfolio diversification

Getting broad exposure to bonds and other asset types can help balance your portfolio and reduce your portfolio's risk.

Risk mitigation

Investing in bonds can offset the risk of stocks. Bond rates and stock prices typically move in opposite directions. So, having bonds can balance the risks of stocks in your portfolio.

Tax advantages

Some bonds offer tax-free income. Depending on the issuer, bonds can generate federal and state tax-exempt earnings.
