Individual bond

Individual bonds are debt securities that allow individual investors to lend money to a corporation or government for a fixed period. They offer a fixed income stream and are considered a relatively low-risk investment compared to stocks. When an investor buys an individual bond, they essentially loan money to the issuer in exchange for periodic interest payments and repay the bond's face value (also known as the "par value") at maturity. 

Income: Individual bonds provide a steady income stream through interest payments.

Diversification: Including bonds in an investment portfolio helps diversify the overall portfolio and reduce risk.

Potential for Capital Appreciation: While bonds are typically considered less risky than stocks, the price of a bond can increase, leading to capital appreciation.

Preservation of Capital: Bonds are generally considered a safer investment than stocks, making them a good option for preserving capital.
