A bond fund pools investor capital to hold bonds and other debt securities, exposing shareholders to portfolio income, credit, duration, and market risk.
Bond and debt fund terms for fixed-income mandates, asset-backed funds, floating-rate funds, and debt portfolios.
Bond and Debt Funds terms classify funds by investment mandate, asset class, style, geography, lifecycle design, income goal, or risk profile.
