Bond
A loan you make to a company or government that pays you back with interest.
When you buy a bond, you're lending money and getting paid interest until it's repaid. Bonds are generally steadier than stocks, which is why older investors hold more of them. In a young child's long-horizon account, portfolios often lean more toward stocks for growth.
Explain it to your kid
"A loan you give that gets paid back with interest."
