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.
But if the company runs. into financial difficulties, it still has a legal obligation to. make timely payments of interest and principal. the. company has no similar obligation to pay dividends to. shareholders. In a bankruptcy, bond investors have priority. over shareholders in claims on the companyâs assets. like all investments, bonds carry risks. one key risk to a. bondholder is that the company may fail to make timely. payments of interest or principal. If that happens, the. company will default on its bonds.
