Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities | | English term or phrase: bonds vs. debentures | aus dem Verkaufsprospekt für einen Fonds:
The Fund may acquire all types of transferable fixed income securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S.
issuers (government and corporate issuers). It may also invest not only in traditional fixed income
securities such as ***bonds and debentures*** but also in convertible securities, warrants, bank debt
obligations, preferred stock, zero-coupon securities, payment-in-kind securities and deferred payment
securities, loan participations and mortgage-backed and asset-backed and structured securities that
derive interest and principal payments from specified assets or indices (including emerging debt
structured securities).
Wo liegt der Unterschied zwischen bonds und debentures? Sind nicht beide Anleihen bzw. Schuldverschreibungen? |
| | | Anleihen und Schuldverschriebungen | Explanation:
Yes, they are both basically the same. A bond has a fixed term and repayment amount. The rate may be variable or fixed and it may have other characteristics (e.g. convertible).
A debenture is ANY written debt instrument, but in practice the terms are used synonomously (and as is the case here, often together).
You could use Anleihen and "andere Schuldtiteln" if you want to cover all possibilities. |
