Financial asset - legal (contractual) claim to a stream of payments in the future. Both ious and treasury bills are bonds. Bond - promise to pay a fixed sum of interest every year, plus the initial amount borrowed (the principal) over a fixed amount of time. Annuity - asset that pays a fixed value every year over time, many retirement funds are annuities. Bonds are paid back in the form of coupons - annual entitlement to the bond"s interest payment.
