Usually, each bond issue has a fixed interest rate, which is also known as coupon, and it has tenure, ranging from 1 month to 30 years. Upon maturity, the issuer repays the "face value" of the security in full, along with any residual coupon payment outstanding.
Two most common types of bonds are:
Fixed Rate Bond
Pays a fixed amount of interest on a regular basis (quarterly, semi-annually or annually)Zero Coupon Bond
Usually offered at a discount, a result of the issuer paying all future coupon up-front. As such, there will not be any regular coupon payments made.
Structured Notes are debt instruments structured to link possible coupon payments or the market value of the Notes to the performance of underlying financial instruments or markets.
Benefits Of Structured Notes
- Flexible and customizable product solutions
- Tailored Risk-return pay-off
- Views on different asset classes
Structured Notes consist of these underlyings, which may include, but are not limited to the movement of interest rates, equities, indices, credit markets or even, a basket of these instruments. The structures usually have one or more embedded options or may employ other derivatives strategies.
Investments in Structured Notes may not have principal repayment at maturity, and where principal repayment at maturity is provided, it is with certain conditions, including, inter alia, that the Structured Notes are held until maturity and are subject to the credit risk of the Issuer of such Structured Notes. Structured Notes are usually available in various tenures, denominations & currencies and are issued by institutions worldwide.
