Bonds with short (not much time to maturity) current maturities.

Short Bond

A bond with a short current maturity. That is, a short bond is a bond with a comparatively short amount of time before it matures. While there is no hard and fast rule as to how "short" the time is that would make a short bond qualify as such, it usually means that the bond will mature in less than one or two years.
