Frequently Asked Questions
A bond is an investment product where the investor lends money to the issuer (either a government or a company) for a predetermined period. In return, the issuer agrees to pay the investor a fixed or variable interest rate during the term of the loan and to repay the principal amount when the bond matures.
Bonds are integral to the debt market, serving as a mechanism for various entities to access capital by borrowing from investors. They provide investors with income through regular interest payments, while offering issuers a method to finance projects or operations without diluting ownership.
Key participants include bond issuers (governments, municipalities, corporations), investors (individuals and institutional investors like pension funds and insurance companies), intermediaries (investment banks), credit rating agencies, and regulatory authorities.
The coupon rate is the annual interest rate paid on a bond's face value to the bondholders. It can be fixed or variable, depending on the bond's terms.
The face value, also known as par value, is the amount of money the bondholder receives from the issuer when the bond matures. It's also the basis on which periodic interest payments are calculated.
The debt market is a financial market where participants can issue and trade debt securities, primarily in the form of bonds. It enables governments, municipalities, and corporations to raise funds by selling debt instruments to investors.
Bonds function as loans made by investors to bond issuers. In exchange for the capital, the issuer pays an agreed-upon rate of interest throughout the bond's life and returns the bond's face value to the investor at maturity. For a more detailed explanation, refer to Module 1-3 of the #BV series.
Interest payment frequency refers to how often a bond makes its interest payments. Common frequencies include monthly, semi-annually, and annually.
A credit rating is an assessment of the creditworthiness of a bond issuer, reflecting the likelihood that the issuer will fulfill its debt obligations. Ratings are provided by credit rating agencies and can influence a bond's interest rate and investor demand.
Maturity refers to the date on which the principal amount of a bond is to be paid back to the investor and the issuer's obligation ends.
