HOW DOES BONDS WORK?
When companies or other entities need to raise money to finance new projects, maintain ongoing operations, or refinance existing debts, they may issue bonds directly to investors instead of obtaining loans from a bank.The issuance price of a bond is typically set at par.
The issuer issues a bond that contractually states the interest rate that will be paid and the time at which the loaned funds must be returned. The interest rate is the return that bondholders earn for loaning their funds to the issuer.
