As the name suggests, a deep discount bond is a type of bond – this means that it is a fixed income instrument. Your investment in this bond gives you a fixed return.
Difference from a regular bond:--
So, how is a deep discount bond different from a regular bond? Here are a few differences:
- It is not issued at face value. In fact, it is issued at a discount to the face value.
- There is no coupon for these bonds. That is, these bonds bear a zero coupon rate, and have no periodic interest payment.
Well, if this is the case, how do you earn from these bonds? How is the interest paid to you? Let’s find out!
How does a deep discount bond work?
A deep discount bond is issued at a steep discount to the face value of the bond.
Thus, if the face value of the bond is Rs. 100, it is issued at a deep discount to it – say, at Rs. 65.
And on the date of maturity, when the bond is redeemed, the bond issuer pays you the face value of the bond.
Yes, you read it right – the bond is issued at a discount to the face value, and is redeemed at its face value.
