What are bonds
Bonds are units of corporate debt issued by companies and
securitized as tradeable assets.
A bond is referred to as a fixed-income instrument since bonds
traditionally paid a fixed interest rate (coupon) to debtholders.
Variable or floating interest rates are also now quite common.
Bond prices are inversely correlated with interest rates: when
rates go up, bond prices fall and vice-versa.
Bonds have maturity dates at which point the principal
amount must be paid back in full or risk default.
Characteristics of Bonds
Face value (par value) is the money amount the bond will be worth at
maturity; it is also the reference amount the bond issuer uses when
calculating interest payments. For example, say an investor purchases
a bond at a premium of $1,090, and another investor buys the same
bond later when it is trading at a discount for $980. When the bond
matures, both investors will receive the $1,000 face value of the bond.
The coupon rate is the rate of interest the bond issuer will pay on the
face value of the bond, expressed as a percentage.
For example, a 5% coupon rate means that bondholders will receive
5% x $1,000 face value = $50 every year.
Characteristics of Bonds
Coupon dates are the dates on which the bond issuer will make
interest payments. Payments can be made in any interval, but
the standard is semiannual payments.
The maturity date is the date on which the bond will mature
and the bond issuer will pay the bondholder the face value of
the bond.
The issue price is the price at which the bond issuer originally
sells the bonds. In many cases, bonds are issued at par.
