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.
â¢ Mutual funds that stress preservation of capital and current income, but also seek some capital appreciation are called balanced funds. â¢ These funds hold long-term municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and common stocks with good dividend-paying records and potential for market appreciation (higher market value), though there is always the risk of price declines if the general stock market fails.
