 Bond Ratings
 Interest Rate Risk
 Real and Nominal Interest Rates
Bond Features
 Bond - evidence of debt issued by a corporation or a
governmental body. A bond represents a loan made by
investors to the issuer. The issuer promises to:
 Make regular coupon payments every period until the
bond matures, and
 Pay the face/par/maturity value of the bond when it
matures.
 Default - since the above-mentioned promises are
contractual obligations, an issuer who fails to keep
them is subject to legal action on behalf of the lenders
(bondholders).
Bond Features (continued)
 If a bond has five years to maturity, an $80 annual coupon,
and a $1000 face value, its cash flows would look like this:

 How much is this bond worth? It depends on the level of
current market interest rates. If the going rate on bonds
like this one is 10%, then this bond is worth $924.18. Why?

Rating
Moody’s A2
This is one of Moody’s higher ratings.
The bonds have a low probability of
default.
The Bond Indenture
The Bond Indenture
 The bond indenture is a three-party contract between the
bond issuer, the bondholders, and the trustee. The
trustee is hired by the issuer to protect the bondholders’
interests.
 The indenture includes
 The basic terms of the bond issue
 The total amount of bonds issued
 A description of the security (if any)
 Repayment arrangements
 Call provisions
 Details of the protective covenants
Bond Prices and Yields
 The price of a bond (B) is determined by its face value (F),
the coupon payment per period (C), the number of
periods until maturity times the number of interest rate
periods in a year (T), and the underlying yield to maturity
(y):

Bond Rates and Yields
 Suppose a bond currently sells for $932.90. It pays an
annual coupon of $70, and it matures in 10 years. It has a
face value of $1000. What are its coupon rate, current yield,
and yield to maturity (YTM)?

1. The coupon rate (or just “coupon”) is the annual
dollar coupon expressed as a percentage of the face
value:
Coupon rate =

2. The current yield is the annual coupon divided by
the current market price of the bond:
Current yield =
Under what conditions will the coupon rate and current
yield be the same?
Bond Rates and Yields (concluded)
The yield to maturity (or “YTM”) is the rate that makes the
price of the bond just equal to the present value of its future
cash flows. It is the unknown r in:
 3.
$932.90 = $_______
[1 - 1/(1 + r)10]/r + $_______ /(1 + r)10
To find the YTM is trial and error:
a. Try 10%:
b. Try 9%:
c. Try 8%:
( ) The yield to maturity is

Semiannual Coupons
 In practice, bonds issued in Canada usually make coupon
payments twice a year.
 Bond yields are quoted like APRs. The quoted rate is
equal to the actual rate per period multiplied by the
number of periods.
 Suppose the coupon rate is 8%. With a 10% quoted yield
and semiannual coupon payments, the true yield is

Bond Returns
 Holding period return on a bond stems from
1.
2.
 Yield to maturity is internal return on bond but only relevant if
coupons reinvested at same rate up to maturity date
Bond Return Example
 Assume you have a 1-year investment horizon and are
choosing among three investment grade bonds with 10-years
to maturity: a zero-coupon bond, an 8% coupon bond, a 10%
coupon bond. Assume yield to maturity of 8%.
 If the yields on the three bonds are expected to be 8% next
year, what is their holding period return?
Default Risk
 Although all bonds are promises to repay the amount borrowed,
at times firms find themselves unable to pay. The risk that the
firm may not repay the issue is default risk.
 Several agencies quantitatively measure default risk through a
bond rating.

AAA
Debt rated Aaa and AAA has the highest rating. Capacity to pay
interest and principal is extremely strong.
Aa
AA
Debt rated Aa and AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. Together with the highest rating, this group
comprises the high-grade bond class.
A
A
Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
debt in high rated categories.
Bond Ratings (concluded)
Baa
BBB
Debt rated Baa and BBB is regarded as having an
adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened
capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in
this category than in higher rated categories. These
bonds are medium-grade obligations.
Ba, B
Ca, C
BB, B
CC, C
Debt rated in these categories is regarded, on balance, as
predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay
interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of
the obligation. BB and Ba indicate the lowest degree of
speculation, and CC and Ca the highest degree of
speculation. Although such debt will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to
adverse conditions. Some issues may be in default.
D
D
Debt rated D is in default, and payment of interest and/or
repayment of principal is in arrears
Interest Rate Risk of Bonds
 Risk that the bond you own will change in value because interest
rates (e.g. YTM) have changed
 Review:
 As interest rates rise, PV _________ all else equal
 As interest rates fall, PV _________ all else equal
Determinants of the Interest Rate Risk of Bonds
 Time to Maturity:
 The longer the time to maturity, the greater the interest rate risk, all
else equal
Reason:

10% 1-year and 30-year bonds. Which bond’s price will change
more with a change in YTM?


1. Bond prices and market interest rates move in _______
directions.

2. When a bond’s coupon rate is (greater than / equal to /
less than) the market’s required return, the bond’s
market value will be (greater than / equal to / less than)
its par value.

3. Given two bonds identical but for maturity, the price of
the longer-term bond will change _____ than that of the
shorter-term bond, for a given change in market
interest rates.

4. Given two bonds identical but for coupon, the price of
the lower-coupon bond will change _____ than that of
the higher-coupon bond, for a given change in market
interest rates.

when market rates change.
Floaters and Inverse Floaters
 If interest rates rise:
- value of principal falls (normal).
- current coupon payment increases (floaters).
- current coupon payment falls (inverse floaters!!).
 If interest rates fall:
- value of principal rises (normal).
- current coupon payment falls (floaters).
- current coupon payment rises (inverse floaters!!).
Inverse Floaters
 Constant coupon bonds have ______ interest rate risk
 Floating coupon bonds have _________ interest rate risk.
 Inverse floaters have _________ interest rate risk.
Callable bonds and convertible bonds
 Callable bonds:
- When will issuers call?
- Yield-to-maturity compared with non-callables
 Convertible bonds:
- Why convertible?
What Do They Do on Bay Street and Wall Street
 Often Use Contingent claims pricing
 Important as bonds are risky. Two types of bond price risk:
 Basic Idea:
 Take into account changes in interest rate and probability of
default
Inflation and Returns
 Key issues:

What is the difference between a real and a
nominal return?

How can we convert from one to the other?
 Example:
Suppose we have $1,000, and Diet Coke costs $2.00 per six
pack. We can buy 500 six packs. Now suppose the rate of
inflation is 5%, so that the price rises to $2.10 in one year.
We invest the $1,000 and it grows to $1,100 in one year.
What’s our return in dollars? In six packs?
Inflation and Returns (continued)
 A. Dollars. Our return is
B. Six packs.
Inflation and Returns (continued)
 Real versus nominal returns:
Your nominal return is the percentage change in
______________________.
Your real return is the percentage change in
__________________________.
Inflation and Returns (concluded)
 The relationship between real and nominal returns is described by
the Fisher Effect. Let:
R
=
the nominal return
r
=
the real return
h
=
the inflation rate
 According to the Fisher Effect:
1 + R = (1 + r) x (1 + h)
 For example, the nominal return is 10%, the inflation rate is 5%, then
the real return is _______.
