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.
