CHAPTER 6
BONDS
Bonds have emerged as one of the prominent financial instruments of capital markets world over.
Bonds are the instruments of borrowings.
They promise a fixed return until their maturity and the payback of principal upon maturity.

CHAPTER 6
FEATURES OF THE BOND
The terms and conditions for the issue of bonds are pre decided at the time of the issue as a part of bond indenture.
Main features of bond indenture are: face value,
coupon rate,
periodicity of coupon payments,
maturity period, and
redemption value.

Callable /puttable bonds Bonds that can be called by the issuer prior
to the maturity are known as callable Bonds, while whose redeemable at the option of subscribers are known as puttable bonds

TYPES OF BONDS
Zero Coupon/Deep Discount Bonds Bonds that do not pay any interest but are
issued at discount to the face value and redeemed at face value are called Deep Discount Bonds
Convertible Bonds Convertible bonds are those, which convert
a part of the bond into equity shares. It combines the features of bonds and equity in a composite instrument

PRICING OF BOND
The value of bond is arrived by discounting the future cash flows from the bonds at an appropriate discount rate
Discount rate must appropriately be adjusted for the riskiness of the cash flows,
prevalent market conditions, and
timing of cash flows to truly reflect the expectations

VALUE OF THE BOND & DISCOUNT RATE
Discount rate is a function of risk. Higher the risk, higher the discount rate and consequently lower the price of bond
When discount rate, r > coupon rate, i
Price < Face Value
When discount rate, r < coupon rate, i
Price > Face Value
When discount rate, r = coupon rate, i
Price = Face Value

CHAPTER 6
YIELD ON THE BOND
There are four types of yields: current yield;
yield to maturity;
realised yield and
yield to call (relevant only for callable bonds)
Current yield is the annual coupon payment divided by the current price.

YIELD TO MATURITY (YTM)
Yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return the investor earns if he holds the bond till maturity.
YTM satisfies the following

REALISED YIELD
Realised yield is the rate of return investor earns on bonds if he sells the bonds before its maturity. It has two components: annual coupons received till the date of sale and the capital appreciation realised on sale.

DEEP DISCOUNT/ZERO COUPON BONDS AND
STRIPS Zero coupon bonds do not pay any interest and
instead provide all the returns in the form of capital gains.
They are issued at price substantially lower than the par value and are redeemed at par.

ZERO COUPON BONDS
The value of zero coupon bonds is arrived by discounting the par value (redemption price) at an appropriate discount rate
Coupon bearing bonds too can be made to look like zero coupon bonds if we treat all the coupon payments as separate instruments

CHAPTER 6
STRIPS
The process of segregating the coupon payments and redemption value and issuing them as separate securities is called stripping.
Each of the strips becomes a separate instrument that can be traded independently of the composite instrument.
These are known as STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities).
VALUATION & MANAGEMENT OF BONDS
21
CHAPTER 6
ADVANTAGES OF STRIPS
The advantages of stripping include increased liquidity due to increased
participation by small investors as coupon stripping results in instruments of smaller denominations,
larger number of securities available for trading providing depth to the market, and
fair pricing due to increased depth and participation.

CHAPTER 6
TERM STRUCTURE OF INTEREST RATES
The timing of cash flows and the discount rates to be used are inter-dependent as the expectations of investors vary with the investment horizon. For example:
Term of investment Yield
1 year 8%
2 years 9%
3 years 10%

YTM AND TERM STRUCTURE
Ideally the value of the bond must be arrived at with the discount rate appropriate with the timing of the cash flow as given by term structure of interest rates, rather that single discount rate for all the cash flows.

CHAPTER 6
FINDING TERM STRUCTURE
Though the YTMs are observable the term structure of interest rates needs to be derived on some rationale basis.
Term structure of interest rates is hidden in the YTMs of bonds with progressive maturities.
YTMs of bonds with different maturities do not reflect the term structure unless all of them have only single cash flow attached with them.
VALUATION & MANAGEMENT OF BONDS
26
CHAPTER 6
FINDING TERM STRUCTURE
The most suitable method to arrive at term structure on interest rates is to get the yields on bonds with increasing maturities but that have single cash flow, as is the case with zero-coupon bonds.

All bonds are redeemable at par with Rs. 1,000
Yields have been worked out using following:
CHAPTER 6
IMPLIED FORWARD RATES
Term structure of interest rates not only provides expectations of returns with horizon of investment but also imply forward rates of interest. For example 8% yield for 1 year investment and 9% for
two year investment implies yield expectation of 10% for one year investment one year from now.
Under conditions of perfect market and well-informed investors the direct investment strategy (investing for two years) and roll over strategy (investing for one year and then rolling over for another year)must result in identical returns.

CHAPTER 6
THEORIES OF TERM STRUCTURE
Expectations Hypothesis
The shape of yield curve is dependent upon the expectations of investors about the future interest rates.
Liquidity Preference Hypothesis
Liquidity preference theory suggest that the term structure of the interest rates is governed by preferences of investors for liquidity.
Preferred Habitat/Market Segmentation Theory
Preferred Habitat theory recognises that the investor have preferred investment horizons. Short-term investors invest in securities with short maturities and long-term investors prefer securities with long-term maturities.

CHAPTER 6
DURATION OF THE BOND
Values of bonds change with the change in interest rates.
With change in interest rates all bonds do not change in value by the same amount. It depends upon the Duration of the bond.
Price sensitivity of the bond is measured by the term called Duration.

COMPUTING DURATION
Duration is the time weighted average of the present values of the cash flows of the bond as proportions of its price.

PROPERTIES OF DURATION
Duration of low YTM bonds is higher and hence they are more sensitive as compared to high YTM bonds.
Duration of low coupon bonds is higher Duration of bonds with longer term to maturity is
higher Duration is always shorter than the term to
maturity and increases as maturity extends Duration of a portfolio of bonds is weighted

BOND RATING
Bond rating is an alphanumeric score given to debt issue of a firm by an independent specialised external agency.
It broadly signifies the level of risk associated with such an issue of debt.
Purpose of rating is to facilitate investors to make informed judgment for investing

BOND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Buy-and-Hold Strategy The simplest of the strategy of managing
the investment in bonds is buy-and-hold. Buy-and-hold strategy has the advantage
of least transaction cost.
Bond Laddering Bond laddering strategy is similar to buy-
and-hold with the modification that the portfolio of bonds is chosen with staggered and progressive maturities.

CHAPTER 6
MATURITY VS. DURATION MATCHING –
IMMUNISATION The investors in bond primarily face two
kinds of risks
1. Price Risk: Bonds prices change constantly, albeit not as much as stock prices, with the changing economic conditions that affect the YTM.
2. Reinvestment Risk: Reinvestment risk arises due to inability of the investors to reinvest the interim coupon payments at the desired rate.

37
CHAPTER 6
MATURITY VS. DURATION MATCHING –
IMMUNISATION By matching maturity with the planned
investment horizon the price risk is eliminated but the re-investment risk remains.
By making holding period equal to the duration of the bond the portfolio can be immunized from change in value due to change in interest rates.

RIDING THE YIELD CURVE
The strategy is used with rising yield curve to get higher returns by selling the bond rather than holding it till maturity. a zero coupon bond with two years remaining for
maturity.
The rising yield curve with yields of 7% for one-year term and 8% for two-year term.
Buy and hold till maturity: The current price of the bond would be Rs. 857.34
(1,000/1.082).
If planned horizon of investment is two years the investor would lock-in the return of 8%.

CHAPTER 6
RIDING THE YIELD CURVE
Buy and sell after one year: if investor sells the bond after one year the bond
would trade at a price higher than expected.
With 8% yield the price should be Rs. 925.92 (1,000/1.08).
But since after one year the time left for maturity is one year only the new price of the bond should be Rs. 934.58 (1,000/1.07) consistent with the yield curve.
The investor would realise a return of 9% if the bond is sold one year after investment.
