Government bonds: treasuries (< 1 year), notes (1-5 years) and bonds
Municipal bonds
Corporate bonds: bonds, commercial paper, convertible bonds
Bank loans
Pooled securitized debt: CDO, MBS, ABS

Bond Components
(1) Face Value/Principal
(2) Maturity Date
(3) Coupon Rate
(4) Coupon Frequency – Coupon is always paid at the end of the year
Bond Types
➢ Straight fixed rate bonds
(“plain vanilla bonds”)
(most common type in secondary market)
Fixed rate, frequency and all sold at once
➢ Convertible bonds
Conversion option is paid for by higher price
“in the money” if value of obtainable equity > bond value
CoCo bonds → automatic conversion in distress trigger event
➢ Callable bonds
Issuer retains an option to reclaim/repurchase the bond earlier than
maturity
If bond is callable (retire before maturity) then Yield to Call must be
calculated
Callable bonds will sell at lower value than otherwise identical bonds
➢ Puttable bonds
Bondholder has the option to extend the maturity date or demand early
repayment of principal (will sell at higher price than otherwise identical)
➢ Floating-rate bonds
Coupon rates are adjusted at pre-specified date to a benchmark
Protects investors against interest-rate risk
, ➢ Serial bonds
Principal is paid back gradually – similar to sinking funds
➢ Preferred stock
Exchange-traded and liquid, missed payment does not mean default
Dividends = coupon payments
➢ Catastrophe bonds
Principal is paid when natural disaster occurs
Very good for diversification because low correlation with other classes
➢ Social Impact bonds
Non-profits; designed to bring efficiency to public non-profit market
➢ Securitized bonds
Tied to expected cash flows of some underlying assets
Hybrid finance: creditors take on part of the business risk
Securitization
1. Pooling of assets, loans into a portfolio
2. Slice it into senior, mezzanine and junior trenches
Magic: take 2 loans both of 10% default risk, pool together and create senior and junior tranche
Senior tranche only defaults when both default, junior when at least 1 defaults
➔ The more assets you pool,
the more tranches (assets) will have a
better risk-reward structure than the
underlying asset (loans, bonds)
Simple notion of return but omits capital gains/losses
II. Yield to Maturity
≡ the ANNUAL rate at which the market discounts the future bond payments; accepted as proxy for average
return
➔ Assumes that coupon payments can be reinvested at same rate
➔ Assumes that investors hold till maturity
Excel: =YIELD(settlement date, maturity date, annual coupon rate, current bond price, redemption value,
number of coupon payments per year)*10
redemption value = 100 = 100%
*10 to get to 1000 face value
Excel: =IRR(series/interval of payments -> price today= negative payment)
If bonds currently sell at a premium the coupon rate > current yield > YTM
If bonds currently sell at a discount → coupon rate < current yield < YTM
Realized compound return vs. YTM
Realized compound return = Yield to maturity if all paid out coupons are reinvested at the same interest rate as
the YTM
III. Yield to Call
IV. Holding Period Return
