​Investment - Debt Securities 
Lenders offer loans to borrowers, which are known as debt securities. The lenders anticipate that the borrowers will pay back the loans and accrued interest.

Due to the widespread use of debt to finance major purchases like homes and cars, you may already be aware with this idea in personal finance. Debt securities are also known as fixed-income securities since the interest rates on many loans are fixed.

They are also referred to as bonds, and the people who possess bonds are called bondholders.
