Face value is an amount that a Bondholder/Bond investor will receive as principal repayment on the maturity date. Face Value is also the amount on which the interest/coupon payments are calculated.

Coupon Rate indicates the annual interest payment rate that a Bondholder receives till the maturity date of the Bond. For example, if the annual coupon rate is 9% and the Face Value is Rs. 10,00,000 then the interest/coupon amount will be Rs. 90,000 per year.

The maturity date denotes the pre-decided date on which a Bond matures/expires and the issuer has to mandatorily repay the outstanding principal amount back to the investor.

Current yield indicates the rate of return the Bond holder will get if they hold the Bond for a year. It is calculated by dividing the annual coupon payment divided with the current market price of Bond.

Yield to maturity is the actual return that an investment in a Bond will give if it is held till the maturity date. It is assumed that coupon and principal payment is done in a timely manner as well as reinvested at the same rate.

Yield to call is the actual return that an investment in a Bond will give if it is held till the call date and not the maturity date. Call date gives the issuer the right but not the obligation to repay the principal amount to the investors on a predetermined date that falls before the maturity date. It is assumed that coupon and principal payment is done in a timely manner as well as reinvested at the same rate.

Yield to put is the actual return that an investment in a Bond will give if it is held till the put date and not the maturity date. Put date gives the investors the right but not the obligation to demand prepayment of the principal amount from the Issuer on a predetermined date that falls before the maturity date. It is assumed that the coupon and the principal payment are done in a timely manner as well as reinvested at the same rate.

The proportional amount (proportional to the broken period) of the next coupon payment that has been earned on a specific date but will be paid only on the next coupon date is called Accrued Interest. The buyer of the Bond pays Accrued Interest to the seller for the broken period.

The price of the Bond excluding the accrued interest is called Clean Price.

The principal amount of the Bond including the accumulated interest is known as Dirty Price.

Day count convention is a factor that determines the calculation of accrued interest. There are four types of day-count convention:

Actual / Actual

Actual / 365

30 / 365

30 / 360
