Term category:
Bonds
In 10 words
or less: A form of government debt that is often referred
to as the "risk-free rate."
Definition:
A short-term debt obligation
issued by the government to finance government activities.
These are commonly referred to as "T-Bills." They are usually
issued in maturities of one, three, or six months.
Advice: T-bills
are zero-coupon bonds, which mean that they don't pay out interest.
Instead, an investor buys them at a discount to their par value
and earns the difference.
