Chapter 7 – Bond Concepts
• What are they?• Types and issuers
– Junk– Convertibles– Callables– Asset-backed
• Credit ratings
• Calculations– YTM– Price– Current yield– Tax impacts
• Relationships– Price– Term– Type
2
Types of Bonds
• Bond – a long-term promissory note– Pays a fixed amount of interest each period– At maturity, principal is repaid
• Types– Secured and Asset-backed securities– Debentures – unsecured– Subordinated debentures – “junior”– Junk or High-yield bonds– Municipals – non taxable interest

Bonds- Issuer Types
Mortgage-related $7.9T 40.6%
Corporations 4.4 22.6
US Treasuries 3.6 18.5
State & Local Gov’t 1.9 9.8
Other-asset backed 1.7 8.5
Total $19.5 100.0%

Characteristics and Terms• Superior claim over stock in bankruptcy• Par value – maturity value is usually $1,000• Coupon rate – percentage of par paid in
annual interest, often paid semiannually• Maturity – length of time or date of
repayment of principal• Accrued interest – seller entitled to interest
from last payment date
5
Capital Food Chain
• Secured creditors (OK if < assets)• General creditors:
– Debenture holders & unsecured creditors– Subordinated debenture holders
• Preferred stockholders• Common stockholders
6
Indenture
• Legal agreement between issuer and independent trustee (bank) representing bondholders– Includes terms, rights and obligations of each– Convenants protect holders
• Covenants may cover asset sales/purchases, dividend limits, future borrowings, interest, mergers, etc.
7
Other Provisions
• Callability – issuer may redeem before maturity
• Tax shield – interest expense is tax deductible.
• At 34% tax, 8% becomes 5.28%
• Current yield (not YTM) = annual interest divided by market price
8
Convertible Securities
• Convertible into common stock at a fixed rate at bondholder’s option
• $1,000 bond convertible into 20 shares– Equal to $50/share (1,000/20)– Stock rises to $60, bond worth $1,200 (60 * 20)
• Offers upside potential but lower rate than on comparable nonconvertible securities
• Look at coupon and conversion ratio
9
Callable Bonds
• Redeemable at issuer’s option– Rates drop, bond called, new bonds issued– Investor forced to reinvest at lower rate
• Deferred calls and call premiums– Some not callable for say first five years– Premiums: say 105% of par in year 6, 104%
year 7 … par in year 11.
• Effect: callables pay a higher rate
10
Zero Coupon Bonds
• No interest paid until maturity• Sold at steep discount, say 60¢ on the $
– Discount represents unpaid interest
• Disadvantages: huge outflow at maturity; not callable; tax issues for holder
• Advantages: interest deferred; deductible by issuer; no reinvestment problem for holder
11
Asset-Backed Securities
• Bonds or notes owning pool of financial assets; outright asset sale– Credit cards, car loans, other assets
• Credit ratings: 90% rated AAA– Based on quality of assets, not issuer’s
credit
• Process called “securitization”• More details on my web page
13
Credit Ratings
• Judgment of risk potential by rating firm– Standard & Poors, Moody’s, Fitch
• Factors: leverage, coverage, liquidity, profitability ratios; cash to debt, size, etc
• Range from AAA to D (in default)– BB and below called junk or speculative bonds– Did they predict Enron? No!
15
Junk Bonds
• AKA “high risk”, “non-investment grade”, “high yield” or “speculative”
• Low credit rating – rated BB and below– Higher risk, higher rates
• Fallen angels (crisis) or new, unproven firms
16
Quality SpreadsTen Year Maturity
Yield Spread Example
USTN 4.40
AAA 4.71% +31 GE & UPS
AA 4.91 51 Abbott Labs
A 5.25 85 McDonalds
BBB 5.70 145 GM
BB 7.90 350 Goodyear

Bond Valuation
• Value of any asset: present value of expected cash flows discounted to PV at market’s rate– Considering amount, timing, riskiness
• Market rate – the collective rate of return required by investors in that security– Rate based on risk; different rates for different
bonds
18
Valuation Steps
1. Estimate amount and timing of each cash flow– Most US bonds pay interest semiannually
2. Determine required rate of return – what’s available on similar bonds?
3. Calculate PV of each cash flow discounted at required or market rate
19
Yield to Maturity
• Rate holder earns if bond held to maturity• Price may be more or less than par value• One year bond pays 6%, market rate is 10%• Market price in very round numbers to get
10% ($100) is $960 • Holder receives $40 cap gain + $ 60 interest

1,000 .8227 822.70

Important Valuation Relationships
# 1. Value of bond is inversely related to changes in interest rates– If rates increase, price falls
Why? Cash flow is fixed. Only way to increase yield is to reduce price.
Price of five year bond with 12% coupon, price is $1,000 if rate is 12%– Price is $899 if rate 15% , $1,117 if 9%
23
Relation #2
• If market rate equals coupon rate, bond sells at par
• If market rate exceeds coupon, bond sells for less than par (discount pond)
• If rate less than coupon sells above par (premium bond)
24
#2 Example
• The market value will be less than par if the investors’ required rate of return is above the coupon rate; converse is true
• Five Year, 12% Bond
Required Coupon Price
12% 12% $1,000
15 12 899
9 12 1,117
26
Relationship #3
• Long-term bond subject to greater price risk than short-term bond
•
