Loan stock is a security issued by a company in respect of a loan made by investors. Loan stock may be secured but often unlike a debenture it is not.
Loan stock holders are in the same place in the pecking order as other unsecured creditors if a company goes bust.
Loan stocks usually bear a fixed rate of interest.
