Bond Anticipation Notes

Short term securities issued in anticipation of a larger bond issue. The government may wish to combine several of these smaller issues into one large issue.

Certificate of Participation (COP)

Financing whereby an investor purchases a share of the lease revenues of a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues. Usually issued by authorities through which capital is raised and lease payments are made.
