Valuation in between Coupon Dates While valuing a bond we assumed
that we were standing on a coupon payment date.
This is a significant assumption because it implies that the next coupon is exactly one period away.
What should be the procedure if the valuation date is in between two coupon payment dates?
![Page 7: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

The Procedure for Treasury Bonds
Calculate the actual number of days between the date of valuation and the next coupon date.
Include the next coupon date. But do not include the starting
date. Let us call this interval N1.
![Page 8: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Treasury Bonds (Cont…)
Calculate the actual number of days between the coupon date preceding the valuation date and the following coupon date.
Once again include the ending date but exclude the starting date.
Let us call this time interval as N2.
![Page 9: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Illustration There is a Treasury bond with a face
value of $1,000. The coupon rate is 8% per annum,
paid on a semi-annual basis. The coupon dates are 15 July and 15
January. The maturity date is 15 January
2022. Today is 15 September 2002.

Treasury Bonds (Cont…)
K = 122/184 = .6630 This method is called the
Actual/Actual method and is often pronounced as the Ack/Ack method.
It is the method used for Treasury bonds in the U.S.
![Page 14: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
The Valuation Equation
Wall Street professionals will then price the bond using the following equation.
![Page 15: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Valuation
In our example
![Page 16: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
The 30/360 Approach The Actual/Actual method is applicable
for Treasury bonds in the U.S. For corporate bonds in the U.S. we use
what is called the 30/360 method. In this method the number of days
between successive coupon dates is always taken to be 180.
That is each month is considered to be of 30 days.
![Page 17: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
The 30/360 Approach (Cont…)
The number of days from the date of valuation till the next coupon date is calculated as follows.
The start date is defined as D1 = (month1, day1,year1) The ending date is defined as D2 = (month2,day2,year2)
![Page 18: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
The 30/360 Approach (Cont…)
The number of days is then calculated as
360(year2 – year1) + 30(month2 – month1) + (day2 – day1)
![Page 19: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Additional Rules
If day1 = 31 then set day1 = 30 If day1 = 30 or has been set equal
to 30, then if day2 = 31, set day2 = 30
If day1 is the last day of February, then set day1 = 30
![Page 20: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Pricing of A Corporate Bond
Let us assume that the bond considered earlier was a corporate bond rather than a Treasury bond.
![Page 22: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

23
30/360 European Convention
In this convention, if day2 = 31, then it is always set equal to 30.
So the additional rules are: If day1 = 31 then set day1 = 30 If day2 = 31 then set day2 = 30 If day1 is the last day of February,
then set day1 = 30

25
Other Conventions Actual/365 Convention In this case the year is considered to have 365
days, while calculating the denominator, even in leap years.
Actual/365 Japanese This is used for Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) It is similar to the Actual/365 method. The only difference is that in this case, the extra
day in February is ignored in leap years, while calculating both the numerator and the denominator.
![Page 26: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Accrued Interest The price of a bond is the present value of
all the cash flows that the buyer will receive when he buys the bond.
Thus the seller is compensated for all the cash flows that he is parting with.
This compensation includes the amount due for the fact that the seller is parting with the entire next coupon, although he has held it for a part of the current coupon period.
![Page 27: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Accrued Interest (Cont…)
This compensation is called Accrued Interest.
Let us denote the sale date by t; the previous coupon date by t1; and the following coupon date by t2
The accrued interest is given by
![Page 28: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Accrued Interest (Cont…)
Both the numerator and the denominator are calculated according to the conventions discussed above.
That is for U.S. Treasury bonds the Actual/Actual method is used, whereas for U.S. corporate bonds the 30/360 method is used.
![Page 29: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Why Accrued Interest?
Why should we calculate the accrued interest if it is already included in the price calculation?
The answer is that the quoted bond price does not include accrued interest.
That is, quoted prices are net of accrued interest.
![Page 30: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Why Accrued Interest? (Cont…) The rationale is as follows. On July 15 the price of the Treasury
bond using a YTM of 10% was $829.83.
On September 15 the price using a yield of 10% is $843.5906.
Since the required yield on both the days is the same, the increase in price is entirely due to the accrued interest.
![Page 31: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Why Accrued Interest (Cont…)
On July 15 the accrued interest is zero.
This is true because on a coupon payment date, the accrued interest has to be zero.
On September 15 the accrued interest is
![Page 32: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Why Accrued Interest? (Cont…) The price net of accrued interest is $843.5906 - $13.4783 = $830.1123$, which
is very close to the price of $829.83 that was observed on July 15.
We know that as the required yield changes, so will the price.
If the accrued interest is not subtracted from the price before being quoted, then we would be unsure as to whether the observed price change is due to a change in the market yield or is entirely due to accrued interest.
![Page 33: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Why Accrued Interest? (Cont…)
However if prices are reported net of accrued interest, then in the short run, observed price changes will be entirely due to changes in the market yield.
Consequently bond prices are always reported after subtracting the accrued interest.
![Page 34: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Clean versus Dirty Prices
Quoted bond prices are called clean or add-interest prices.
When a bond is purchased in addition to the quoted price, the accrued interest has also to be paid.
The total price that is paid is called the dirty price or the flat price.
![Page 35: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Yield Measures
The yield or the rate of return from a bond can and is computed in various ways.
We will discuss various yield measures and their relative merits and demerits.
![Page 36: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
The Current Yield
This is very commonly reported. Although it is technically very
unsatisfactory. It relates the annual coupon
payment to the current market price.
![Page 37: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Example of the Current Yield
A 15 year 15% coupon bond is currently selling for $800.
The current yield is given by
![Page 38: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Current Yield (Cont…)
If you buy this bond for $800 and hold it for one year you will earn an interest income of $150.
So your interest yield is 18.75% However, if you sell it after one
year you will either make a Capital Gain or a Capital Loss.
![Page 39: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Current Yield (Cont…) What is a Capital Gain? If the price at the time of sale is
higher than the price at which the bond was bought, the profit is termed as a Capital Gain.
Else if there is a loss, it is termed a Capital Loss.
The current yield does not take such gains and losses into account.
![Page 40: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Current Yield (Cont…)
On the other hand if you choose to hold on to the bond at the end of one year, you will earn additional coupons.
This aspect too is ignored by the Current Yield computation.
![Page 41: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Yield to Maturity (YTM)
The YTM is the interest rate that equates the present value of the cash flows from the bond (assuming that the bond is held to maturity), to the price of the bond.
It is exactly analogous to the concept of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) used in project valuation.
![Page 42: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
YTM (Cont…)
Consider a bond that makes an annual coupon of C on a semi-annual basis.
The face value is M, the price is P, and the number of coupons remaining is N.
![Page 43: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
YTM (Cont…)
The YTM is the value of y that satisfies the following equation.
![Page 44: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
YTM (Cont…) The YTM is a solution to a non-linear
equation. We generally require a financial
calculator or a computer to calculate it. However it is fairly simple to compute the
YTM in the case of a coupon paying bond with exactly two periods to maturity.
In such a case it is simply a solution to a quadratic equation.
![Page 45: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
YTM for a Zero Coupon Bond
The YTM is easy to compute in the case of zero coupon bonds.
Consider a ZCB with a face value of $1,000, maturing after 5 years.
The current price is $500. The YTM is the solution to
![Page 46: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Features of YTM
The YTM calculation takes into account all the coupon payments, as well as any capital gains/losses that accrue to an investor who buys and holds a bond to maturity.
![Page 47: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Sources of Returns From a Bond
A bondholder can expect to receive income from the following sources.
Firstly there are coupon payments which are typically paid every six months.
There will be a capital gain/loss when a bond matures or is called before maturity or is sold before maturity.
![Page 48: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Returns From a Bond (Cont…) The YTM calculation assumes that the
bond is held to maturity. Finally when a coupon is received it will
have to be reinvested till the time the bond eventually matures or is sold or is called.
Once again the YTM calculation assumes that the bond is held till maturity.
The reinvestment income is nothing but interest on interest.
![Page 49: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
YTM
A satisfactory measure of the yield should take into account all the three sources of income.
The current yield measure considers only the coupon for the first year.
All the other factors are totally ignored.
![Page 50: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
YTM (Cont…) The YTM calculation takes into account
all the three sources of income. However it makes two key assumptions. Firstly it assumes that the bond is held
till maturity. Secondly it assumes that all
intermediate coupons are reinvested at the YTM itself.
![Page 51: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
YTM (Cont…) The latter assumption is built in to the
mathematics of the YTM calculation. The YTM is called a Promised Yield. It is Promised because in order to
realize it you have to satisfy both the above conditions.
If either of the two conditions is violated you may not get what was promised.
![Page 52: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
The Re-investment Assumption Consider a bond that pays a semi-
annual coupon of $C/2. Let r be the annual rate of interest at
which these coupons can be re-invested.
r would be dependent on the market rate of interest that is prevailing when the coupon is received, and need not be equal to y, the YTM, or c, the coupon rate.
![Page 53: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Reinvestment (Cont…)
For ease of exposition we will assume that r is a constant for the life of the bond.
However, in practice, it is likely that each coupon may have to be reinvested at a different rate of interest.
Thus each coupon can be re-invested at a rate of r/2 per six monthly period.
![Page 54: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Reinvestment (Cont…)
The coupon stream is an annuity. The final payoff from re-investment
is the future value of this annuity. The future value is
![Page 55: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
Reinvestment (Cont…)
The future value represents the sum of all the coupons which are reinvested (which in this case is the principal), plus the interest from re-investment.
The total value of coupons that are reinvested is
![Page 56: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Re-investment (Cont…)
The interest on interest is therefore
The YTM Calculation assumes that r/2 = y/2.
![Page 57: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
Reinvestment in Action
Consider an L&T bond with 10 years to maturity.
The face value is Rs 1,000. It pay a semi-annual coupon at the
rate of 10% per annum. The YTM is 12% per annum. Price can be calculated to be
Rs 885.295.

Reinvestment in Action (Cont…)
Assume that the semi-annual interest payments can be reinvested at a six monthly rate of 6%, which corresponds to a nominal annual rate of 12%.
The total coupon income = 50 x 20 = 1000
![Page 59: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

60
Reinvestment in Action (Cont…)
Finally in the end you will get back the face value of Rs 1,000.
So the total cash flow at the end = 1000 + 839.3 + 1000 = 2839.3 To get this income, the bondholder
has to make an initial investment of 885.295.
![Page 61: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Reinvestment in Action (Cont…)
So what is the effective rate of return?
It is the value of i that satisfies the following equation
![Page 62: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
62
Reinvestment in Action (Cont…)
So the rate of return is 6% on a semi-annual basis or 12% on a nominal annual basis, which is exactly the same as the YTM.
So how was this return achieved? Only by being able to reinvest all the
coupons at a nominal annual rate of 12%, compounded on a semi-annual basis.
![Page 63: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
The Significance of the Reinvestment Rate The reinvestment rate affects only
the interest on interest income. The other two sources are unaffected. If r > y, that is if the reinvestment
rate were to be higher than the YTM, then the investor’s interest on interest income would be higher, and the return on investment, i, would be greater than the YTM, y.
![Page 64: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
The Reinvestment Rate (Cont…) On the contrary, if r < y, that is, the
reinvestment rate is less than the YTM, then the interest on interest income would be lower, and the rate of return, i, would be less than the YTM, y.
So if you buy a bond by paying a price which corresponds to a given YTM, you will realize that YTM only if
You hold the bond till maturity You are able to reinvest all the intermediate
coupons at the YTM.
![Page 65: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
Reinvestment Risk One of the risks faced by an investor
is that the future reinvestment rates may be less than the YTM which was in effect at the time the bond was purchased.
This risk is called Reinvestment Risk. The degree of reinvestment risk
depends on the time to maturity as well as the quantum of the coupon.
![Page 66: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
66
Reinvestment Risk (Cont…)
For a bond with a given YTM, and a coupon rate, the greater the time to maturity, the more dependent is the total return from the bond on the reinvestment income.
Thus everything else remaining constant, the longer the term to maturity, the greater is the reinvestment risk.
![Page 67: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
67
Reinvestment Risk (Cont…)
For a bond with a given maturity and YTM, the greater the quantum of the coupon, or in other words, the higher the coupon rate, the more dependent is the total return on the reinvestment income.
Thus everything else remaining the same, the larger the coupon rate, the greater is the reinvestment risk.
![Page 68: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
Reinvestment Risk (Cont…)
Thus premium bonds will be more vulnerable to such risks than bonds selling at par.
Correspondingly, discount bonds will be less vulnerable than bonds selling at par.
![Page 69: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
69
Zero Coupon Bonds and Reinvestment Risk If a zero coupon bond is held to maturity,
there will be no reinvestment risk, because there are no coupons to reinvest.
Thus if a ZCB is held to maturity, the actual rate of return will be equal to the promised YTM.
If the risk is lower or absent, the return should also be less.
Thus a ZCB will command a higher price than an otherwise similar Plain Vanilla bond.
![Page 70: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
70
The Realized Compound Yield We will continue with the assumption
that the bond is held till maturity. But we will make an explicit assumption
about the rate at which the coupons can be reinvested.
That is, unlike in the case of the YTM, we will no longer take it for granted that intermediate cash flows can be reinvested at the YTM.
![Page 71: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
71
Illustration
Let us reconsider the L&T bond. Assume that intermediate coupons can
be reinvested at 7% for six months, or at a nominal annual rate of 14%.
The total coupon income and the final face value payment will remain the same, but the reinvestment income will change.
![Page 72: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

74
Illustration (Cont…)
This is the rate of return for six months.
The nominal annual return is 6.38 x 2 = 12.76%, which is greater than the YTM of 12%.
The RCY is greater than the YTM, because we assumed that the reinvestment rate was greater than the YTM.
![Page 75: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
75
Illustration (Cont…) Had we assumed the reinvestment
rate to be less than the YTM, the RCY would have turned out to be less than the YTM.
The RCY can be an ex-ante or an ex-post measure.
Ex-ante means that we make an assumption about the reinvestment rate and then calculate the RCY.
![Page 76: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)

Ex-post means that we take into account the actual rate at which we have been able to reinvest and calculate the RCY.

77
The Horizon Return
Let us now relax both the assumptions which were used to calculate the YTM.
Firstly the investor need not hold the bond until maturity.
Secondly he may not be able to reinvest the coupons at the YTM.
![Page 78: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
78
The Horizon Return (Cont…) Now the return will depend on three
sources – the coupons received, the reinvestment income, and the price at which the bond is sold prior to maturity.
The important issue is that the sale price of the bond would depend on the prevailing market yield at that point in time, and need not equal the face value.
![Page 79: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
79
Illustration Assume that an investor with a 7 year
investment horizon buys the L&T bond that we discussed earlier.
He will get coupons for 14 periods (not 20).
The total coupon income will be 50x14 = 700 We will assume that the reinvestment
rate is expected to be 7% per six monthly period.
![Page 80: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
80
Illustration (Cont…)
We will also assume that the investor expects the YTM after 7 years to be 12% per annum.
The first step is to calculate the expected price at the time of sale.
At that point in time the bond will have 3 years to maturity.
![Page 81: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)

84
Yield to Call (YTC) This measure of the rate of return
is used for callable bonds. The YTC is the yield that will make
the present value of the cash flows from the bond equal to the price, assuming the bond is held till the call date.
In principle a bond can have many possible call dates.
![Page 85: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
85
YTC (Cont…)
In practice the cash flows are usually taken only till the first call date, although they can easily be taken to any subsequent call date.
The YTC is given by the equation
![Page 86: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
86
YTC (Cont…) N* is the number of coupons till the call
date. M* is the price at which the bond is
expected to be recalled. M* need not equal the face value. In practice companies pay as much as
one year’s coupon as a Call Premium at the time of recall.
If so, M* = M + C
![Page 87: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
87
Illustration (Cont…)
Let us assume that the L&T bond is a callable bond and that the first call date is 7 years away.
Assume that a call premium of Rs 100 will be paid if the bond is recalled.
![Page 88: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
88
Illustration (Cont…)
The YTC is the solution to the following equation
![Page 89: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
89
Illustration (Cont…) The solution comes out to be 6.74%. So the YTC on an annual basis is
13.48%. The YTC is very important for Premium
Bonds. The very fact that a bond is selling at a
premium, indicates that the coupon is greater than the yield, and that therefore there is a greater chance of recall.
![Page 90: Tarheel Consultancy Services](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568137bb550346895d9f5b51/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
90
The Yield to Worst
In practice the investors compute the YTC for every possible call date.
They then compute the YTM as well.
The lowest of all possible values is called the Yield to Worst.

Portfolio Yield
Consider a case where you hold a portfolio or a collection of bonds.
You cannot simply calculate the yield from the portfolio as a weighted average of the YTMs of the individual bonds.

Consider a person who buys a TELCO bond and a Ranbaxy bond.
The TELCO bond has a time to maturity of 5 years, face value of 1000, and pays coupons semi-annually at the rate of 10% per annum.
The YTM is 12% per annum.
