Does interest start to accrue on purchase date or settlement date for bonds?

Asked by Mabrozek

You are correct that the calculation of interest payments on bonds, asset-backed securities (ABS), mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and fixed-income securities often follows a settlement date approach. The settlement date approach is a common method used in financial markets to determine when interest payments are made to bondholders and investors. Here's how it works:

Settlement Date: The settlement date is the date on which a financial transaction is completed, and ownership of the security is transferred from the seller to the buyer. It's also the date on which the purchase price is paid, and the security is delivered to the buyer.

Accrued Interest: When a bond or fixed-income security is bought or sold between interest payment dates (coupon dates), the buyer typically pays the seller the accrued interest. Accrued interest is the interest that has accrued on the security since the last coupon payment date.

Regular Coupon Payments: The issuer of the bond or security makes regular coupon payments to the bondholders on specified dates, typically semiannually or annually. These coupon payments are based on the nominal or face value of the security and the coupon rate.

Adjustment at Settlement: When a security is bought or sold, the accrued interest is adjusted at the settlement date. The buyer compensates the seller for the accrued interest that has accumulated up to that point.

Next Coupon Payment: After the settlement date, the new owner of the security is entitled to receive the next scheduled coupon payment in full, as they have compensated the seller for the accrued interest.

The settlement date approach ensures that the buyer receives the full coupon payment for the period they hold the security, while the seller is compensated for the interest that accrued during their ownership.

This approach is especially important in fixed-income markets because it provides a fair way to account for the interest payments between coupon dates, ensuring that both the buyer and seller receive their respective portions of the interest income based on their ownership periods. It also allows for a clear delineation of responsibilities regarding interest payments and accruals when securities change hands.

It's worth noting that in some cases, the interest calculation method may vary depending on the specific terms and conventions outlined in the bond or security's prospectus or offering documents. Therefore, it's essential to refer to the specific terms of the security in question to understand how interest payments are calculated and when they are made.

WHAT IS TREASURY BOND?

Asked by Wiki User

Treasury bonds (or T-Bonds) mature in ten years or longer. They have coupon payment every six months like T-Notes, and are commonly issued with maturity dates of ten and thirty years. The secondary market is highly liquid, so the yield on the most recent T-Bond offering was commonly used as a proxy for long-term interest rates in general. This role has largely been taken over by the 10-year note, as the size and frequency of long-term bond issues declined significantly in the 1990s and early 2000s. The U.S. Federal government stopped issuing the well-known 30-year Treasury bonds (often called long-bonds) on October 31, 2001. As the U.S. government used its budget surpluses to pay down the Federal debt in the late 1990s, the 10-year Treasury note began to replace the 30-year Treasury bond as the general, most-followed metric of the U.S. bond market. However, due to demand from pension funds and large, long-term institutional investors, along with a need to diversify the Treasury's liabilities - and also because the flatter yield curve meant that the opportunity cost of selling long-dated debt had dropped - the 30-year Treasury bond was re-introduced in February 2006 and is now issued quarterly. This will bring the U.S. in line with Japan and European governments issuing longer-dated maturities amid growing global demand from pension funds. Some countries, including France and the United Kingdom, have begun offering a 50-year bond, known as a Methuselah.
