Consol

/ˈkɒnsɒl/ noun

Definition

A British government bond or security that pays interest forever but has no maturity date, like an endless investment.

Etymology

Shortened from 'consolidated annuities,' a term for British government securities created in the 18th century during financial reforms.

Kelly Says

Consols are the bond market's version of a perpetual machine—investors could literally collect interest on them forever, and some issued in the 1700s are still paying out today.
