Investments may produce current income, typically in the form of interest or dividends, which are profits distributed to corporate stockholders or bondholders. If, for example, you place your money in a bank certificate of deposit that matures in one year, the bank may pay, say, 1 percent interest. Likewise, if you invest in a bond issued by a company, which matures in five years, you may be paid 2 percent interest.
