Historically, only the spellings CaitlÃ­n, Caitlin and the (anglicised) form Kathleen were used. In the 1970s, however, people began pronouncing the name as KAYT-lin, which led to numerous variations in spelling, including Kaitlin, Katelyn, Catelyn, Catelin, Caitlyn, Kaitlyn etc. Caitlin Brennan, pseudonym of Judith Tarr, American fantasy writer.
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.
Dividends are payments made to shareholders of a stock for being partial owners in a company. The payments are typically made based on the earnings and profits of the company. In contrast, bondholders receive interest payments because they are serving as lenders. Like interest payments, however, dividend payments typically are regularly scheduled payments made to investors. Interest payments are standard for bonds, but some stocks choose not to pay dividends to shareholders. Instead, the companies reinvest the earnings into their operations and growth.
