Zero Coupon Bond (Security) – Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Delray Beach and West Palm Beach, Florida Corporate and Municipal Bond and Stock Fraud and Misrepresentation FINRA Arbitration and Litigation Attorney, Russell L. Forkey, Esq.
A Zero Coupon Bond (Security) is investment instrument that makes no periodic interest payments bust instead is sold at a deep discount from its face value. The buyer of the instrument receives the rate of return by the gradual appreciation of the security, which is redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date.
There are many kinds of zero-coupon securities. The most commonly known is the zero-coupon bond, which either may be issued at a deep discount by a corporation or government entity or may be created by a brokerage firm when it strips the coupons off a bond and sells the corpus and the coupons separately.
Because zero-coupon securities bear no interest, they are the most volatile of all fixed-income securities. Since zero-coupon bondholders do not receive interest payments, zeros fall more dramatically than bonds paying out interest on a current basis when interest rates rise. However, when interest rates fall, zero-coupon securities rise more rapidly in value than full-coupon bonds, because the bonds have locked in a particular rate of reinvestment that becomes more attractive the further rates fall.
