<prompt> Tlamo ke eng?nan  <response>: Instruction in English: What is a bond? . Response in English: A bond is a loan made to an organization or government with the guarantee that the borrower will pay back the invested capital with interest on a specific date. Essentially its a fixed income instrument representing a loan made by an investor to the issuer. Governments and corporations frequently issue bonds to finance large capital projects or expansion. Bondholders are paid a fixed interest rate known as the coupon at specified intervals, usually twice per year until the bond matures. Once the bond reaches its maturity date, the issuer repays the bonds face value to the investor. Bond investing is often considered as a safer investment, since they provide a steady and predictable stream of income. .
