Answer. Bonds definitions.

1. Green Bonds: These are bonds that raise capital for environmental projects,
such as renewable energy or sustainable transportation. They are gaining
popularity as investors become more aware of the risks associated with climate
change and seek ways to align their investments with their values.
2. Social Bonds: These bonds are similar to green bonds, but they raise capital for
social projects, such as affordable housing or education. They are gaining
popularity as investors become more aware of the importance of investing in
socially responsible projects.
3. Inflation-linked bonds: These bonds are linked to inflation, which means that
the interest payments and the principal are adjusted for inflation. These bonds
provide a hedge against inflation and can be useful for investors who are
concerned about the potential for rising prices.
4. Floating rate bonds: These bonds have interest rates that are periodically reset
based on a benchmark rate, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR). This feature makes them less sensitive to interest rate changes and
can provide more stability in a volatile interest rate environment.
5. High-yield bonds: These bonds are also known as junk bonds and are issued by
companies that have a lower credit rating. They offer higher yields than
investment-grade bonds, but they also carry higher risk.
6. ESG bonds: Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is a new concept in
bond investments that take into consideration the environmental and social
impact of the company issuing the bond.
7. BlockChain-based Bonds: Blockchain technology can be used to issue and
trade bonds, which allows for faster and more efficient settlement, increased
transparency, and reduced costs.
8. A corporate bond is a debt security issued by a corporation, typically with a
fixed interest rate and maturity date.
9. A samurai bond is a yen-denominated bond issued in Japan by a foreign entity.
10. A Yankee bond is a U.S. dollar-denominated bond issued by a foreign entity in
the United States.
11. A Eurodollar bond is a U.S. dollar-denominated bond issued by a foreign entity
outside the United States.
