\ud83d\udcdd Quick Summary:<\/div>\n

<\/span>A bond pays interest, known as the coupon, on specific dates set at issuance. Two other dates decide who actually receives that coupon. The record date is the cutoff date on which the issuer checks who holds the bond. The coupon payment date is when the issuer actually transfers the money.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

An investor who sells a bond mid-tenure needs to know both dates, since the timing of the sale decides who receives the coupon, and how the sale price accounts for interest already earned. This article explains the record date for a bond coupon, how it works alongside the coupon payment date, and what happens to interest when a bond changes hands between coupon dates.
