Lessons Learnt 1
Bond is a long-term debt instrument in which a borrower
agrees to make payments of principal and interest, on specific
dates, to the holders of the bond.
If you purchase a zero coupon bond and hold it until maturity,
you will receive only par value at the maturity date.
If you purchase a coupon bond and hold it until maturity, you
will receive a regular fixed dollar of coupon payment from t=1
until maturity (N) and the par value at maturity date.
Coupon payment = coupon rate par value
Some features of bonds such as par value, coupon interest
rate, maturity date and payment frequency are fixed on the
bond certificate while price and yield to maturity of bond are
not.

If you hold a bond until maturity, the value of
bond is PV of all future coupon payments and par
value at maturity
The discount rate for bond valuation is the
required rate of return on bonds
Opportunity cost of debt
Yield to maturity
If yield = coupon rate, then bond price = par
value.
If yield < coupon rate, then bond price > par
value.
If yield > coupon rate, then bond price < par 25

Unlike the coupon interest rate, which is fixed, the bonds
yield varies from day to day depending on current market
condition.
An investor who purchases a bond and hold it until it
matures will receive the YTM that existed on the purchase
date
Expected total return (YTM) = E(CY) + E(CGY)
At maturity, the value of any bond (i.e. par, premium and
discount bond) must equal its par value.
To value semi-annual coupon bond, number of periods is
2N, coupon is annual coupon/2 and periodic rate is rd/2.

Default Risk
If an issuer defaults, investors receive less
than the promised return.
Influenced by the issuers financial strength
and the terms of the bond contract.
Bond ratings reflect the probability of a bond
issue going into default.
