Investors are the owner of the company by purchasing the shares of ownership which are termed as stock. It helps to get a higher return with respect to the risk of heavy loss of money. A Bond is issued to raise fund. It is a debt instrument where investor lends money to either corporate or government for a certain period in return of the interest amount at a fixed rate at designed intervals and after maturity, the whole amount of bond paid back to the bondholder. Bonds are less risky than the stock but it has a fixed return. The given statement makes sense.
