How It Works

Illustrative Example of a Fixed Rate Bond

Mr. Chan invested US$96,000 in a US corporate bond at market price of 96% at the end of 2009. Ther face value of the bond was US$100,000. The bond has the following features:

  • Coupon Rate: 6% p.a.
  • Maturity Date: September 15, 2015

Scenario 1: Mr. Chan holds the bond until maturity

Mr. Chan will receive an interest payment of US$6,000 (US$100,000 x 6%) every year before the maturity. On September 15, 2015, Mr. Chan will receive the final interest payment of US$6,000 plus US$100,000 for the face value of the bond.

If Mr. Chan sells the bond in March 2010 and the market price of the bond at that time is 102%, he will receive a pro-rata interest payment of US$3,000 plus US$102,000 (102/100 x US$100,000) for the sale of the bond.
