  1. Chapter Six Bond Markets McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  2. Bond and Bond Markets • Capital markets involve equity and debt instruments with maturities of more than one year • Bonds are long-term debt obligations issued by corporations and government units • Bond markets are markets in which bonds are issued and traded • Treasury notes (T-notes) and bonds (T-bonds) • Municipal bonds (Munis) • Corporate bonds McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  3. Bond Market Instruments Outstanding, 1994-2007 McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  4. Treasury Notes and Bonds • Treasury notes and bonds (T-notes and T-bonds) are issued by the U.S. Treasury to finance the national debt and other government expenditures • The annual federal deficit is equal to annual expenditures (G) less taxes (T) received • The national debt (ND) is the sum of historical annual federal deficits: McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  5. Treasury Notes and Bonds • Default risk free: backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government • Low returns: low interest rates (yields to maturity) reflect low default risk • Interest rate risk: because of their long maturity, T-notes and T-bonds experience wider price fluctuations than money market securities when interest rates change • Liquidity risk: older issued T-bonds and T-notes trade less frequently than newly issued T-bonds and T-notes McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  6. Treasury Notes and Bonds • T-notes have original maturities from over 1 to 10 years • T-bonds have original maturities from over 10 years • Issued in minimum denominations (multiples) of $1,000 • May be either fixed principal or inflation-indexed • inflation-indexed bonds are called Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) • the principal value of TIPS is adjusted by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) every six months • Trade in very active secondary markets • Prices are quoted as percentages of face value, in 32nds McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  7. Treasury STRIPS • Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal Securities (STRIPS), a.k.a. Treasury zero bonds or Treasury zero-coupon bonds • Financial institutions and government securities brokers and dealers create STRIPS from T-notes and T-bonds • STRIPS have the periodic interest payments separated from each other and from the principal payment • one set of securities reflects interest payments • one set of securities reflects principal payments • STRIPS are used to immunize against interest rate risk McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  8. Treasury Notes and Bonds • “Clean” prices are calculated as: Vb = the present value of the bond M = the par value of the bond INT = annual interest payment (in dollars) N = the number of years until the bond matures m = the number of times per year interest is paid id = interest rate used to discount cash flows on the bond McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  9. Treasury Notes and Bonds • Accrued interest on T-notes and T-bonds is calculated as: • The full (or dirty) price of a T-note or T-bond is the sum of the clean price (Vb) and the accrued interest McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  10. Treasury Notes and Bonds • The primary market of T-notes and T-bonds is similar to that of T-bills; the U.S. Treasury sells T-notes and T-bonds through competitive and noncompetitive single-bid auctions • 2-year notes are auctioned monthly • 3, 5, and 10-year notes are auctioned quarterly (Feb, May, Aug, and Nov) • 30-year bonds are auctioned semi-annually (Feb and Aug) • Most secondary trading occurs directly through brokers and dealers McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  11. Municipal Bonds • Municipal bonds (Munis) are securities issued by state and local governments • to fund imbalances between expenditures and receipts • to finance long-term capital outlays • Attractive to household investors because interest is exempt from federal and most local income taxes • General obligation (GO) bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing municipality • Revenue bonds aresold to finance specific revenue generating projects McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  12. Municipal Bonds • Compare Muni returns with fully taxable corporate bonds by finding the after tax return for corporate bonds: ia= ib(1 – t) ia = after-tax rate of return on a taxable corporate bond ib = before-tax rate of return on a taxable bond t = marginal total income tax rate of the bond holder • Alternately, convert Muni interest rates to tax equivalent rates of return: ib= ia/(1 – t) McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  13. Municipal Bonds • Primary markets • firm commitment underwriting: a public offering of Munis made through an investment bank, where the investment bank guarantees a price for the newly issued bonds by buying the entire issue and then reselling it to the public • best efforts offering: a public offering in which the investment bank does not guarantee a firm price • private placement: bonds are sold on a semi-private basis to qualified investors (generally FIs) • Secondary markets: Munis trade infrequently due mainly to a lack of information on bond issuers McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  14. Corporate Bonds • Corporate bonds are long-term bonds issued by corporations • A bond indenture is the legal contract that specifies the rights and obligations of the issuer and the holders • Bearer versus registeredbonds • Term versus serialbonds • Mortgage bonds are secured debt issues McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  15. Corporate Bonds • Debentures and subordinated debentures • Convertible bonds versus non-convertible bonds icvb = rate of return on a convertible bond incvb = rate of return on a nonconvertible bond opcvb = value of the conversion option • Stock warrants give bondholders the opportunity to purchase common stock at a prespecified price McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  16. Corporate Bonds • Callable bonds versus non-callable bonds incb = rate of return on a noncallable bond icb = rate of return on a callable bond opcb = value of the call option • A Sinking fund provision is a requirement that the issuer retire a certain amount of the bond issue early as the bonds approach maturity McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  17. Corporate Bonds • Primary markets are identical to that of Munis • Secondary markets • the exchange market (e.g., NYSE) • the over-the-counter (OTC) market • Bond ratings • the two major bond rating agencies are Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (S&P) • bonds are rated by perceived default risk • bonds may be either investment or speculative (i.e., junk) grade McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  18. Bond Market Indexes • Managed by major investment banks • Reflect both the monthly capital gain and loss on bonds plus any interest (coupon) income earned • Changes in values of bond indexes can be used by bond traders to evaluate changes in the investment attractiveness of bonds of different types and maturities McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  19. Bond Market Participants • The major issuers of debt market securities are federal, state and local governments, and corporations • The major purchasers of capital market securities are households, businesses, government units, and foreign investors • businesses and financial firms (e.g., banks, insurance companies, and mutual funds) are the major suppliers of funds for Munis and corporate bonds • foreign investors and governments are the major suppliers of funds for T-notes and T-bonds McGraw-Hill/Irwin

  20. International Bonds and Markets • International bond markets involve unregistered bonds that are internationally syndicated, offered simultaneously to investors in several countries, and issued outside of the jurisdiction of any single country • Eurobonds are long-term bonds issued outside the country of the currency in which they are denominated • Foreign Bonds are long-term bonds issued outside of the issuer’s home country • Brady Bonds are bonds swapped for an outstanding loan to a less developed country • Sovereign Bonds are Brady Bonds that have had their underlying collateral removed and the creditworthiness of the country is substituted instead McGraw-Hill/Irwin
