Bonds are debt securities. These promise to provide the holder with a fixed income or an income which is calculated as per a formula. Fixed income securities is another term used for debt securities. Bonds are securities which are provided in connection with borrowing arrangements. Over a certain period of time, the issuer is obliged to make specific payments to the holder in this type of securities. Coupon bonds are debt obligations where the semi-annual interest payments are made. In the time between issuing of the bond and the maturity of the bond, the bond holders get coupon payments. Coupon rate is the annual interest payment rate. It is a percentage of the bond's par value.
