treasury note (T-note)

Definition

Medium-term (maturity one to ten years) fixed interest rate debt security issued by a national (federal) government and backed by its full faith and credit. Next to treasury bills (maturity less than one year), T-notes are the safest form of marketable investment with an active secondary market, and usually pay semi-annual interest. See also treasuries.
