Debt security is a financial instrument that represents an individual's or entity's ownership of debt obligations. These obligations are typically issued by governments, municipalities, corporations, or other entities to raise capital. Debt securities are seen as a safer investment option compared to stocks, as they provide regular interest payments and the return of principal upon maturity. Below are several types of debt securities: 1. Government Bonds: These debt securities are issued by national governments to finance their expenditures or help manage their debt. Examples include US Treasury bonds, UK gilts, or German bands. 2. Corporate Bonds: Companies issue corporate bonds to raise capital for various purposes, such as expansion, acquisitions, or debt refinancing. Investors receive regular interest payments and the principal amount upon maturity. For instance, Apple issued corporate bonds to fund its product development and business operations. 3. Municipal Bonds: Municipalities, including cities, states, or counties, issue these bonds to finance infrastructure projects, schools, or public services. By investing in municipal bonds, individuals can support local development while earning interest. An example would be the New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority issuing bonds to fund water infrastructure projects. 4. Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS): These debt securities are created by bundling individual residential or commercial mortgages together. The interest and principal payments made on these mortgages are then passed on to the investors. MBS played a significant role in the 2008 financial crisis when the collapse of the subprime mortgage market led to a severe downturn. 5. Asset-Backed Securities (ABS): ABS are created by pooling together various types of loans, such as auto loans, student loans, or credit card debt. The cash flows from these underlying loans serve as collateral for ABS investors. An example would be a financial institution packaging a portfolio of student loans into an ABS to provide additional funds for new lending. 6. Convertible Bonds: Convertible bonds allow investors to convert their bond holdings into a predetermined number of company stocks within a specific period. This hybrid debt security provides the potential for capital appreciation if the issuing company's stock price rises. Tesla's convertible bonds offer a notable example, allowing bondholders to convert their bonds into Tesla common stock. These are just a few examples of debt securities, each serving different purposes and offering varying levels of risk and return. They provide investors with an opportunity to diversify their portfolio while receiving periodic income and the return of principal when the security reaches maturity.
