61 Fixed Income Basics: Bonds 101 ACCRUED INTEREST The interest that has accumulated on a bond since the last interest payment. The seller of a bond expects to receive interest earned by not yet paid on a bond, therefore the buyer pays the accrued interest upon settlement. Examples of Accrued Interest: Purchase Days Since Last Accrued Interest Date: Coupon Due Seller: Coupon Maturity: Payment: : 6/24/ $ % 6/24/2018 7/25/ $ /27/ $3, /25/ $27.78 $ 1,000, PIPER JAFFRAY 61
62 Fixed Income Basics: Bonds 101 RULES TO REMEMBER The value of a bond is the present value of future cash flows. Bond values drop when market interest rates increase, all else equal. Bond values rise when market interest rates decrease, all else equal. Long-term bond values are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than short-term bond values, all else equal.
