If underground shifts in pressure increase the pressure on a magma chamber, the magma chamber may fracture and lead to a volcanic eruption. Sometimes, the remaining magma cools and crystallizes into an igneous body of granite called a pluton.
Accrual (accumulation) of something is, in finance, the adding together of interest or different investments over a period of time. It holds specific meanings in accounting, where it can refer to accounts on a balance sheet that represent liabilities and non-cash-based assets used in accrual-based accounting.
What are accrual funds? Accrual-oriented funds focus on earning interest income from the coupon offered by bonds. In duration funds, in contrast, the focus is on generating a significant portion of returns from the capital appreciation that occurs when interest rates decline. Accrual funds too could earn some returns from capital gains, but these typically tend to be a small portion of their total return. Another characteristic of these funds is that they have a buy-and-hold mandate.
