A bond is a fixed-income security — a loan from an investor to a borrower (government or corporation). The bond pays regular coupon payments and returns the face value at maturity. Bond prices move inversely to interest rates: when rates rise, bond prices fall.

Pro Tip
Duration measures a bond's sensitivity to interest rate changes. A bond with duration of 5 years will lose approximately 5% in price for every 1% rise in interest rates.
