Bond Valuation and Accrual
Bond valuation terms for pricing, accrual, amortization, equilibrium value, and return recognition.
Bond valuation, equilibrium, roll-down return, amortized bond, accrual bond, and yield direction terms.
Valuation, return, and roll-down terms explain how a bond’s price, accrued interest, yield path, and time-to-maturity changes contribute to fixed-income performance.
Use this branch when coupon income alone does not explain the result, especially when the bond’s value changes because of yield movements, curve shape, accrual, amortization, or pull-to-par effects.
| Area | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Bond Valuation and Accrual | Bond valuation, accrued interest, amortized bonds, accrual bonds, and equilibrium value. |
| Bond Yields and Roll-Down | Treasury yields, roll-down return, positive and negative bond yields, and return from yield-curve movement. |
A bond can earn a positive holding-period return even when its coupon is modest if yields fall or if the bond rolls down a steep yield curve. It can also lose value when yields rise, even if every coupon payment is made on time.
