*Bond perhaps disguised as reverend? (10)
I believe the answer is:
investment
'bond perhaps disguised' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'as reverend?' is the wordplay.
'as' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'reverend?' becomes 'vestment' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in'+'vestment'='INVESTMENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for investment that I've seen before include "Something bought for later profit" , "Blockade; profitable use of money" , "Money used to gain potential profit" , "Money-making" , "Thing worth buying for expected profit" .)
