Sinking Fund

A fund, often held by the Trustee under an Indenture but sometimes held directly by an Issuer (e.g., a Sinking Fund established under local law in connection with a water or sewer enterprise system) to which the Issuer or the Conduit Borrower periodically makes payments or in which revenues from a project are periodically deposited, for purposes of paying the Debt Service on a Bond Issue.  This fund is sometimes referred to as the “Debt Service Fund” or the “Bond Fund.”
