This happens after the bond has been issued at the face value. The market value of a bond can be either at a premium or at a discount to the face value. The value depends on the overall economic conditions, bond issuer industry state, and the bond issuer\u2019s business condition.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Bond_Issuer\"><\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 26px;\">4.

The payment frequency can vary from monthly, quarterly, bi-annually to annually. Some payment dates can be customized by the bondholder.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Maturity\"><\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 26px;\">6. Maturity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The bond issuing company agrees to pay back the face value of the bond to the bondholder on a pre-defined date. This is called the bond <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/what-are-staggered-maturity-bonds\/\">maturity<\/a> date. Once the principal amount is returned, the bondholder stops receiving the interest payments as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Yield_to_Maturity_YTM\"><\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 26px;\">7. Yield to Maturity (YTM)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yield to maturity is the effective returns that an investor gets by investing in a bond and then holding it till maturity. Simply put, the yield, measured in %, is the interest rate at which an investor invests money in the bond to generate the cash flows from the bond till it matures.<\/p>\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n<p>Say, an investor invests Rs\u00a0 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">950 <\/span>(market value) in a bond. The various parameters of the bond are:<\/p>\n<p>Face Value per unit = Rs 1000 ; Coupon Rate = 10% ; Payment Schedule = 5 years on 30 th April.<\/p>\n<p>The payments that the investor will receive are :<\/p>\n<p>Rs 100 on 30 th April every year till the next five years. On maturity in the 5th year, the investor gets back the face value = Rs 1000.<\/p>\n<p>Then his effective returns or yield to maturity will be <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11.352 %<\/span> approximately.<\/p>\n<p>The effective annual returns help in making a realistic comparison of different rates of returns of bonds. For example, if a bond receives a quarterly payment of interest, then due to compounding the effective annual returns will be higher than the actual interest returns.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Rating\"><\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 26px;\">8. Rating<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A bond rating is a grade given to a bond depending on its creditworthiness. The ratings can vary from AAA to AA to A and further down. AAA is considered the highest rating and bonds with this rating are generally considered the safest.<\/p>\n<p>Any bond that has credit ratings of BBB and above are labeled as investment-grade bonds or safe bonds in India. This rating is given to the company (bond issuer) by rating agencies on the basis of various financial factors of the bond issuer.
