Bonds
Typically, bonds are just a certificate or a record, an evidence of which the issuer or a group agrees to pay the investor in a certain period. Bonds can also be described as some sort of a loan, with all the information of the payback date and interest date.
There are a lot of corporations, local governments, federal agencies and the like who are practising these type of concept to finance. Millions of different types of bonds are being issued each year.

Bonds can also be a source of income, especially of retired people receiving money at regular intervals. Though, some bonds can be risky—like corporate bonds, unless the company has a good standing—bonds can be a good way of acquiring returns in the long run.
