International Bonds
• Foreign bonds– Issued by a borrower from a country other than the
one in which the bond is sold.– Bonds are denominated in the currency of the country
in which it is sold. • Yankee bonds, Samurai bonds, Bulldog bonds
• Eurobonds– Bonds issued in the currency of one country but sold
in other national markets. • Eurodollar bonds, Euroyen bonds

Innovations in the Bond Market
• Inverse floaters– Coupon rate falls when interest rates rise & vice versa
• Asset-backed bonds– Income from specified assets is used to service the
bond• Pay-in-kind bonds
– Bond issuer may choose to pay interest by giving the investor a bond rather than cash

Innovations in the Bond Market
• Catastrophe bonds– In the event of a specified ‘disaster’ the bond
issuer’s required payments are reduced or eliminated.
• Indexed bonds – Payments are tied to a price index or the price of a
commodity.• TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) With TIPS
the par value of the bond increases with the Consumer Price Index.

Bond Pricing Between Coupon Dates
• The flat price or quoted price assumes the bond is purchased on a coupon payment date.
• If the bond buyer purchases a bond between payment dates the buyer’s invoice price = flat price + accrued interest.

Bond Prices and Yields• Prices and Yields (required rates of return)
have an inverse relationship
• When yields get very high the value of the bond will be very low
• When yields approach zero, the value of the bond approaches the sum of the cash flows

• YTM is the discount rate that makes the present value of a bond’s payments equal to its price
• Find the YTM for a 8% coupon, 30-year bond selling at $1,276.76

Alternative Measures of Yield• Current Yield
– Annual dollar coupon divided by the price
• Yield to Call
– Call price replaces par
– Call date replaces maturity
• Holding Period Yield
– Considers actual reinvestment rate on coupons
– Considers any change in price if the bond is sold prior to maturity

Premium and Discount Bonds
• Premium Bond– Coupon rate exceeds yield to maturity– Bond price will decline to par over its maturity
• Discount Bond– Yield to maturity exceeds coupon rate– Bond price will increase to par over its maturity
• Can you explain why these price change will occur?

Protection Against Default• Sinking funds
– Issuer may repurchase a given fraction of the outstanding bonds each year, or
– Issuer may either repurchase at the lower of open market price or at a pre-specified price, usually par; bonds are chosen randomly
• Serial bonds– Staggered maturity dates
• Subordination of future debt– Senior debt holders must be paid in full before junior
debt holders.

Credit Default Swaps
A credit default swap (CDS) is an insurance policy on the default risk of a bond or loan.•The seller of the swap collects an annual premium (and sometimes an upfront fee) from the swap buyer.
•The buyer of the swap collects nothing unless the bond issuer or loan borrower defaults, in which case the seller of the swap essentially pays the drop in value from par to the swap buyer.

Credit Default Swaps
• CDSs can be used to speculate on financial health of firms.– Swap buyer need not hold the underlying bond or
loan.– At their peak there were reportedly $63 trillion worth
of CDS; US GDP is about $14 trillion. – What is the implication of the size of this market if the
economy experiences greater than expected defaults?
– Did this contribute to the Financial Crisis of 2008?

Credit Default Swaps
• New regulations on CDS will be implemented– CDS contracts will be required to be traded on
an exchange with collateral requirements to limit risk.
– Exchange trading will also increase transparency of positions of institutions.

Theories of the Term Structure• Expectations
– Long term rates are a function of expected future short term rates
– Upward slope means that the market is expecting higher future short term rates
– Downward slope means that the market is expecting lower future short term rates
• Liquidity Preference– Upward bias over expectations– The observed long-term rate includes a risk premium
