Debenture bond An unsecured bond whose holder has the claim of a general creditor on all assets of the issuer not pledged specifically to secure other debt. Compare subordinated debenture bond and collateral trust bonds. Debenture Bond A debt security, issued by a government or large company, that is not secured by an asset or lien, but rather by all of the issuer's assets that are not otherwise secured. That is, a debenture carries no collateral and is considered unsecured; in case of bankruptcy, the debenture holder is considered a general creditor. Debentures issued by governments are considered risk-free. See also: Treasury security. How to thank TFD for its existence?
