You are now able to hold bonds. When a bond get issued the issuer is obliged to pay interest (the coupon) and/or to repay the nominal value at a later date, defined by the termed maturity, to the holder. Thus the bond is like a reversed loan.
At the moment, there are three types of bonds available:
- a fixed rate bond, with a fixed interest of 6% and a nominal pay out of 90%
- a perpetual bond, which has no maturity date (goes on forever) with an interest rate of 5%
- a zero-coupon bond, with no interest but a nominal pay out of 125%
Also, I have increased the loan interest to 5% because it wouldn't make any sense if the bank would loan money for a higher interest than it lends
