Answer: Investing, Bonds, General

When I buy a bond, does the issuer send me a bond certificate?

If you bought a bond before the 1980s, you received a bond certificate in the mail. You had to keep track of your bond certificates, and you had the risk of the certificate being lost or stolen. Now, bond issues are registered and stored electronically.
