Debenture stock

[Eugine]

Debenture stock is a form of investment that is somewhat like preferred stock. With a debenture stock offering, the terms and conditions that govern the stock issue include a schedule for making payments to the investor at regular intervals. From this perspective, debenture stock functions more like any type of debenture rather than like other forms of stock.

A debenture is an unsecured loan you offer to a company. The company does not give any collateral for the debenture, but pays a higher rate of interest to its creditors. In case of bankruptcy or financial difficulties, the debenture holders are paid later than bondholders. Debentures are different from stocks and bonds, although all three are types of investment. Let us discuss about different types of investment options for small investors and entrepreneurs.
