A callable bond is where the issuer has the ability to redeem the bond prior to maturity. A callable bond is where the bond hold has the ability to force the issuer to redeem the bond before maturity. Hope this helps.
Call Provision
Yield to maturity assumes that the bond is held up to the maturity date. This is a disadvantage. If the bond is a yield to call , it can be called prior to the maturity date. Thus, the ivestor should sell the callable bond prior to maturity if he expects that he will earn higer return by doing so (in other words when yeild to call is higher than held to maturity).
Callable is the designation of a bond that can be paid off earlier than its maturity date.
A callable bond, also known as a redeemable bond, is a debt security that entitles the issuer of the bond to retain the rights to redeem it before the maturity date of the bond is reached.
A provision on a bond that provides for the systematic retirement of the bond prior to maturity is known as a sinking fund provision. This provision requires the issuer to set aside funds on a regular basis to repay a portion of the bond issue before it matures, reducing the overall debt burden.

Redeeming a bond at a premium means that the issuer repays the bondholder an amount greater than the bond's face value upon maturity or early redemption. This typically occurs when interest rates have fallen, making the bond's higher coupon rate more attractive. Consequently, the issuer may offer a premium to incentivize bondholders to sell or redeem the bond before maturity. This practice can impact the overall yield and return for investors.
On a savings bond, "RDS" stands for "Redeemable at Maturity." This indicates that the bond can be cashed in for its full value upon reaching its maturity date. Typically, savings bonds accrue interest over time, and the RDS designation signifies that the bondholder can redeem it for the principal amount plus any accrued interest once it matures.
The yield to maturity of a bond generally decreases over time as the bond approaches its maturity date. This is because as the bond gets closer to maturity, the price of the bond tends to increase, which in turn lowers the yield to maturity.
Nope it doesn't you suck
