bond fund

Fixed-income investment pool

A bond fund is an investment fund that pools money from multiple investors to buy bonds—government, corporate, or municipal debt securities.

Unlike individual bonds held to maturity, bond funds trade continuously and have no fixed end date.

They offer diversification and professional management but carry interest rate risk: She moved her retirement savings into a bond fund for more stability.
