In finance, bootstrapping is a method for constructing a (zero-coupon) fixed-income yield curve from the prices of a set of coupon-bearing products, e.g. bonds and swaps.. A bootstrapped curve, correspondingly, is one where the prices of the instruments used as an input to the curve, will be an exact output, when these same instruments are valued using this curve.
Sustainable finance. v. t. e. A zero-coupon bond (also discount bond or deep discount bond) is a bond in which the face value is repaid at the time of maturity. [1] Unlike regular bonds, it does not make periodic interest payments or have so-called coupons, hence the term zero-coupon bond. When the bond reaches maturity, its investor receives ...

For example, if a zero-coupon bond with a $20,000 face value and a 20-year term pays 5.5% interest, the interest rate is knocked off the purchase price and the bond might sell for $7,000. In two ...
v. t. e. In finance, bond convexity is a measure of the non-linear relationship of bond prices to changes in interest rates, and is defined as the second derivative of the price of the bond with respect to interest rates ( duration is the first derivative). In general, the higher the duration, the more sensitive the bond price is to the change ...
Zero-coupon bonds live in the investing weeds, easily ignored by ordinary investors seeking growth for college and retirement. Should ordinary investors take a look? How do they tend to do in ...
Original Issue Discount ( OID) is a type of interest that is not payable as it accrues. OID is normally created when a debt, usually a bond, is issued at a discount. In effect, selling a bond at a discount converts stated principal into a return on investment, or interest. The accurate determination of principal and interest is necessary in ...
An affine term structure model is a financial model that relates zero-coupon bond prices (i.e. the discount curve) to a spot rate model. It is particularly useful for deriving the yield curve – the process of determining spot rate model inputs from observable bond market data. The affine class of term structure models implies the convenient ...
