Key Features of a Bond


Par value face amount of
the bond, which is paid at
maturity (assume $1,000).
Maturity date date
the bond must be repaid.

Yield to maturity (YTM) nominal rate of return


earned on a bond held until maturity
(also called the promised yield).
(e.g. 2.67%, or 9.09%)

Key Features of a Bond


Coupon amount paid by the
issuer regularly.
Coupon interest rate stated
interest rate (generally fixed)
paid by the issuer. Multiply by
par value to get dollar
payment of interest.
Coupon = Coupon interest rate * Par Value

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.

What is the opportunity cost of debt


capital?
The discount rate (r) is the opportunity cost of debt
capital, and is the rate that could be earned on
alternative investments of equal risk.
The discount rate is also known as the required rate of return
Also, it can be referred as yield to maturity
For annual bonds, the discount rate is given by

Implications: Two annual bonds with the same maturity and same risks
must have the same r!

Using a Financial Calculator to Value


a Bond
This bond has a $1,000 lump sum (the par value)
due at maturity (t = 10), and annual $130 coupon
payments beginning at t = 1 and continuing through
t = 10, the price of the bond can be found by
solving for the PV of these cash flows.

Par, Discount, Premium Bond


If yield = coupon rate, then bond price = par
value par bond.
If yield < coupon rate, then bond price > par
value premium bond.Investors pay higher than par
value because coupon rate is
higher than their required yield.

If yield > coupon rate, then bond price < par


value discount bond.

bond is PV of all future coupon payments and par

The discount rate for bond valuation is the

If yield = coupon rate, then bond price = par
value.
If yield < coupon rate, then bond price > par

Calculating Expected Capital Gains Yield

Find the bond price in the next year.


N = 10, PV = -$887, PMT = $90, FV =
$1000. We get I/YR = 10.91%
N = 9, I/YR = 10.91%, PMT = $90, FV =
$1000. We get PV = -$893.79

Lessons Learnt 3
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.

What is Interest Rate (or Price) Risk?


Interest rate risk is the concern that rising
rd will cause the value of a bond to fall.
All else being equal, bonds with longer
maturity have higher interest rate risk.
Longer maturity bonds are more sensitive to
interest rate changes

Recall: Maturity Risk


Premium (MRP)

What is interest rate (or price) risk? Does a


1-year or 10-year bond have more interest
rate risk?
Interest rate risk is the concern that rising rd will
cause the value of a bond to fall.
rd 1-year Change 10-year Change
5% $1,048 $1,386
+ 4.8% +38.6%
10% $1,000 $1,000
4.4% 25.1%
15% 956 749

The 10-year bond is more sensitive to interest


rate changes, and hence has more interest rate
risk.

What is Reinvestment Risk?


Reinvestment risk is the concern that rd
will fall, and future CFs will have to be
reinvested at lower rates, hence reducing
income.

Example: Suppose you just won


$500,000 playing the lottery. You intend
to invest the money and live off the
interest.

Reinvestment Rate Example


You may invest in either a 10-year bond or
a series of ten 1-year bonds. Both the 10-
year and 1-year bonds currently yield 10%.
If you choose the 1-year bond strategy:
After Year 1, you receive $50,000 in income
and have $500,000 to reinvest. But, if 1-year
rates fall to 3%, your annual income would fall
to $15,000.
If you choose the 10-year bond strategy:
You can lock in a 10% interest rate, and earn
$50,000 in annual income for 10 years.

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.
