An investor who buys corporate or government bonds receives interest payments periodically as well as the repayment of the original amount loaned (the principal) at a specified date in the future. Even if the company does poorly, it is still obligated to pay interest to its bondholders. Companies and governments rarely default on bond payments, making this form of investment considerably safer than others.
