ShortTerm Bonds
Short-term bonds are debt securities with maturities typically ranging from one to five years. These bonds are issued by corporations, governments, or other entities to raise capital quickly. Investors purchase short-term bonds as a way to earn income in a relatively short period while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity. Short-term bonds are considered to be less risky compared to long-term bonds due to their shorter duration, which makes them less susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.
