| Hello there James. Well, here’s the thing. Debt security is a financial instrument which issuers use to collect capital. So, it is loan in form of a financial instrument. Debt securities are bonds, deposits, commercial papers and debentures. They are less risky so it’s definitely worth investing in them. That’s all. I hope that I managed to answer your questions. Bye! |

| Hello James. Since issuers of debt securities collect money form the buyers and then pay them back with some interest, you can say that it is some kind of loan. Now, most common type of debt securities is bonds. Bonds are pretty good as an investment choice, because they are less risky and they can still provide some nice income. I would suggest you to invest in government or municipal bonds, if you are interested, off course. That would be all from me. Bye! |
