  1. treasury bill

    A Treasury Bill (T-Bill) is a short-term debt obligation backed by the U.S. government with a maturity of less than one year, sold in denominations of $1,000 up to a maximum purchase of $5 million. T-bills have various maturities and are issued through a competitive bidding process at a discount from par, which means that rather than paying fixed interest payments, the appreciation of the bond provides the return to the holder. The income earned by purchasing Treasury Bills is considered risk-free since they are fully backed by the U.S. government.
