A bond fund or debt fund is a fund that invests in bonds, or other debt securities. Bond funds can be contrasted with stock funds and money funds. Bond funds typically pay periodic dividends that include interest payments on the fund's underlying securities plus periodic realized capital appreciation. Bond funds typically pay higher dividends than CDs and money market accounts. Most bond funds pay out dividends more frequently than individual bonds.
As with buying and selling stocks, there are tax consequences associated with buying and selling bonds because of the income or gains you accrue with your bond investments. Whether or not you will need to pay taxes on a bond's interest income (coupons) or a bond fund's dividends depends on the entity that issued the bond. 1  Corporate and Mortgaged-Backed BondsâThe interest you get from corporate and mortgage backed bonds typically is subject to federal and state income tax.
