View bond and gilt pricesWhen you buy a corporate or government bond you are, in effect, lending a company or government money. In return you receive interest and the issuer promises to pay back the loan on a specified date. This means that in terms of risk, bonds generally sit between cash and shares. That said, investing in bonds does carry its own risks and you could get back less than you invest. Find out more about corporate bonds and gilts.
