• ZERO COUPON BONDS
  
  Bonds that are sold at a significant discount to their face value. They pay no interest, but you receive the full value of the bond when it reaches maturity. Issued by corporations, municipalities, and the federal government, zeroes provide a predictable return for investors who want a lump sum of money by a specific date.
