Key Terminology for Bonds
1. Par or Face value Usually $1,000 per bond for corporates Principal amount underlying the loan, usually repaid with a
bullet maturity (interest-only payments during life of bond)
2. Coupon rate Nominal annual interest rate used to determine the cash
flow (coupon PMTs) on the bond Established contractually in advance of issuance Coupon rate x Face Value = total coupon PMT per year Coupons are typically paid twice per year
3
Key Terminology for Bonds
3. Yield-to-maturity Interest rate used to discount the cash flows on the bond
to determine today’s price (‘rate’ in Excel) This is the market interest rate that changes continuously,
reflecting investors’ rate of return requirements YTM is the discount rate that equates the present value of
the bond’s cash flows with its price analogous to the Internal Rate of Return
Depends largely on maturity and default risk
4
Key Terminology for Bonds
4. Maturity Number of years until the face value is returned to the
investor, along with the final coupon payment.
5. Default risk Reflected by credit rating Key determinant of the yield-to-maturity and price

Bond value over time
Suppose the bond was issued 20 years ago and now has 10 years to maturity. What would happen to its value over time if the required rate of return (YTM ) remained at 10%, changed to 13%, or 7%?
Premium bond’s price (7% YTM )declines toward
$1,000 (face value) at maturity Discount bond’s price increases toward $1,000

If YTM > coupon rate, bond sells at a discount from face value.
If YTM = coupon rate, bond sells at its face value ($1,000).
If YTM < coupon rate, bond sells at a premium to face value.
If YTM rises, price falls.
Summary of price and YTM relationships
11
Two forms of risk related to changing interest rates1. Price risk2. Reinvestment risk
YTM assumes the bond is held to maturity (no price risk) all coupons are reinvested at the YTM (no
reinvestment risk)
12
Price risk
Exposure is to rising interest rates and inflation, since the investor is locked into a fixed rate of return on the bond
Price inflation will reduce the purchasing power of future cash flows on the bond
As a result the bond will sell for a lower price

Price risk increases with maturity Price risk is greater for longer maturities because the
investor is committed to the coupon rate for a longer period of time, and thereby suffers greater opportunity costs when interest rates rise.
Price risk is greater for lower coupon bonds since these have longer effective maturities.
This maturity effect is evident in the present value formula, where for larger ‘n’, the PV is more sensitive to changes in ‘i’

Reinvestment rate risk
The risk that coupon PMTs will have to be reinvested in the future at lower rates, reducing income and ‘realized yield’ below the promised YTM.
This risk is greatest for higher coupon (more PMT to reinvest) and shorter maturities relative to the investment
period (have to reinvest face value when bond matures)

Semiannual Bonds1. Multiply N by 22. Divide nominal YTM by 2 to get
semiannual discount rate.3. Divide coupon rate by 2 to get semiannual

Pure expectations theory of the yield curve Attributes the relationship between yields on
different maturity securities entirely to difference in expectations of future interest rates. Long-term interest rates are an average of expected
short-term interest rates. If this were not true, investors would buy the maturity
offering the higher expected yield, driving price up and yield down to equilibrium.
Thus, if PET is correct, you can use the current yield curve to forecast expected future interest rates.
24
Implications of Pure Expectations Theory
Over any defined holding period, if PET forecast holds there is no sequence of investments that will produce lower borrowing costs than any other sequenceStrategically selecting maturities is a bet against
the forecast embedded in today’s yield curve
Long-term rates will be less volatile than short-term rates
The term structure of interest rates can be used as an indicator of the market’s forecast for the economy
25
Liquidity premium theory Extends the pure expectations theory by
incorporating investor expectations of price risk (liquidity) in establishing market rates The pure expectations theory assumes that securities that
differ only in terms of maturity are perfect substitutes LPT claims if the expected return on a series of short-term
securities equals the expected return on a long-term security, investors will prefer the short-term securities
Investors with uncertain holding periods will prefer the short-term securities, since price volatility is lower (i.e. more liquid)
Borrowers in general will prefer longer-term securities, since they can fix their borrowing cost
Therefore borrowers must entice investors by offering higher rates on longer-term securities
26
Liquidity premium theory
Long-term rates are an average of expected short-term rates, and liquidity premiums
The forward rate equals the expected rate plus a liquidity premium
27
Yield curves and liquidity premiums
Calculated forward rates will exceed expected rates
The difference will be the amount of the liquidity premium

The size of the liquidity premium will be positively

28
Liquidity Premium Theory
LPT provides an explanation for the normally upward sloping yield curve. PET cannot explain this fact.
Implication of LPT for maturity selection Borrowing using long maturities will be more
expensive than a series of short maturities over long horizons
Real versus Nominal Interest Rates
r = Real interest rate
h = Inflation premium
R = any Nominal rate
The nominal return includes the real return and an inflation premium:
Fisher relation: (1 + R) = (1 + r)(1 + h)
R = r + h + (r x h)

Rr
R = r + h + MRP + DRP + LP
Here we add additional risk premia: R = Nominal required rate of return on a
debt security. r = Real short-term risk-free rate. h = Inflation premium.MRP = Maturity Risk premium (price risk)Stop here for YTM on Treasury Security
For corporate debt add:DRP = Default risk premium by credit rating LP = Liquidity premium

Interest Rate Swaps
An agreement to exchange a fixed (floating) rate payment for a floating (fixed) rate over some time periodProvides flexibility to alter debt agreements
without refunding or renegotiationMost important interest rate risk management
tool for financial institutions Counterparty is a large financial
intermediary (bank/investment bank) that makes a market in swaps
36
Interest Rate Swaps
Interest payments are calculated off of ‘notional principal’; no principal is exchanged
Collateral is often required to guarantee performance
See Excel example
Duration measures the interest rate risk of a security Duration measures how price sensitive a
security is to changes in interest rates. The greater (shorter) the duration, the greater
(lesser) the price sensitivity.
Duration incorporates the timing and size of all cash flows on the security.
38

Compare the actual price of the 4-year 6% bond with the Duration estimate if the YTM decreases by 1% to 7%.
Actual: 966.13
Duration estimate: 933.76(1.0339)=965.41

Effect of contract terms on Duration Duration depends on:
1. The coupon rate.
2. The time to maturity.
3. The yield-to-maturity.

Maturity and Fixed vs. Floating Debt Considerations
Exposure to fluctuating interest rates
Exposure to fluctuating credit spreads
Market timing
Impact on investments
49
Refinance Risk
If financing LT assets with ST debt, must refinance during life of assets Interest rate risk if rates rise Underinvestment if credit markets won’t refinance
risk is greatest for firms with less certain cash flows (growth/cyclical/high risk)
Suggest growth/cyclical/riskier firms should use LT debt, however, lenders prefer to have renegotiation option with these types of firms
50
Repurchase risk
If financing ST assets with LT debt, must repurchase debt when assets mature (assuming no reinvestment), or carry excess cash Interest rate risk if rates fallOverinvestment in cash if debt not
repurchased
51
Maturity Matching
Borrowers can mitigate interest rate risk and investment risk by matching the maturity (measured in cash flow timing) of assets and debt.
Lenders talk about measuring the ‘financing need’ and matching that need
52
Fixed versus floating rate debt
For a given maturity, firms whose cash flows are more highly correlated with interest rates can reduce cash flow variability by using floating rate debt
53
Credit Spread Risk
If firm possesses inside information regarding credit risk, and believes risk will fall in the future, then use more ST debtDon’t lock in high credit spread long-term Improved cash flows will mitigate refinance risk
Shorter maturity credit spreads are lower, but spreads are extremely volatile
54
Evidence
Survey data on 392 financial execs shows: ‘matching assets and liabilities’ is the most
important factor affecting debt maturity ‘cost of refinancing in bad times’ is 2nd most
important factor Debt maturity increases as credit rating falls,
until the rating becomes speculative (BB or lower).
55
Evidence
The 3rd most important factor determining maturity is execs claiming they issue ST debt when “ST rates are low compared to LT rates”, or “we are waiting for LT rates to come down”
ST borrowings, including borrowings tied to floating interest rates, are higher when the term spread—the difference between 10-year and 1-year interest rates—is high relative to the long-term mean
Demand for interest rate swaps that swap fixed payments for floating payments increases when the term spread increases
56
Summary of Debt Maturity and Fixed/Floating Considerations
Interest rate risk Maturity matching
Impact on investments Bias toward LT/Fixed for growth/cyclical/high risk
Credit spread risk ST if lower risk than market expects, and vice versa
Market timing Assumes have superior forecast of short-term rates Generally cheaper to borrow S.T. or Floating Rate due to term premium
Cash flow cyclical with economy Appropriate to use more Floating Rate
Call provisions Issuer (borrower) can refund the bond if rates
decline. That helps the issuer but hurts the investor. Pay the ‘call premium’ to refund
Therefore, borrowers are willing to pay a higher YTM, and investors require higher YTM, on callable bonds.
Most callable bonds have deferred callability (3-5 years).
57
Convertibility Debt convertible into specified number of shares of stock = the‘conversion ratio’ Market value includes ‘straight bond value’ plus the value of the call option on the stock Allows borrower the ability to issue stock at a less dilutive price if the stock price increases Provides downside protection to stock investor
