Premium
Premium.
The amount you have to pay for a bond depends on its face value and the interest rate. You typically pay a percentage of the face value as a premium to purchase the bond.
When a bond is issued at a premium, it means that the bond's selling price is higher than its face value or par value. This typically occurs when the bond’s coupon rate is higher than the prevailing market interest rates, making it more attractive to investors. As a result, investors are willing to pay more for the bond to receive the higher interest payments. The premium is amortized over the life of the bond and reduces the effective yield for the investor.
One or more of the following market conditions may explain why a bond is selling at a premium (to face value): * Interest rates went down (causing value to go up) * The credit rating for the company issuing the stock went up * The company issuing the bonds has offered to buy outstanding debt at a premium * If convertible bond (to stock), the underlying stock went above a critical value making the bond more valuable when converted
If you are referring to the high value premium bond winners table on the NS&I website, the Holding is the total amount of premium bonds held and the Bond Value is the block of premium bonds the winning number fell in, eg Holding £30,000, Block Value £1000 means that the winner holds 30,000 premium bonds and the winning number fell within a block of 1000 consecutively numbered bonds.

The issuance price will not depend on: 3. Method used to amortize the bond discount or premium When issuers estimate an offer price, they need to estimate the risk premium over the riskless securities, in percentage points, assess the effective interest rate for the given maturity, and assume a face value, usually 1,000. These values have to be plugged in the formula based on Time Value of money. They don't need to worry about how a purchaser will amortize the premium or accrue the discount, which is done for tax purposes.
No, the yield to maturity (YTM) on a premium bond does not exceed the bond's coupon rate. A premium bond is sold for more than its face value, which means the YTM will be lower than the coupon rate because the investor will receive the fixed coupon payments but will incur a loss when the bond matures and is redeemed at face value. Thus, the YTM reflects this lower return compared to the coupon rate.
When bonds are sold for more than face value, the carrying value is equal to the face value plus any premium. The premium is the excess amount paid by the investors over the face value of the bond and is amortized over the life of the bond.
Premium Bond was created in 1956.
The price of the bond decreases; the inflation premium would increase the market interest rate, which in bond valuation is located in the denominator, and the coupon payment rate is located in the numerator. When calculating the NPV of future coupon payments, as the denominator or market interest rate + inflation premium increases, the Net Present Value of future coupon payments decreases and the overall value of the bond decreases as well.
