  2. Z-spread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-spread

    The Z-spread of a bond is the number of basis points (bp, or 0.01%) that one needs to add to the Treasury yield curve (or technically to Treasury forward rates) so that the Net present value of the bond cash flows (using the adjusted yield curve) equals the market price of the bond (including accrued interest). The spread is calculated iteratively.

  3. I-spread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-spread

    The Interpolated Spread, I-spread or ISPRD of a bond is the difference between its yield to maturity and the linearly interpolated yield for the same maturity on an appropriate reference yield curve. The reference curve may refer to government debt securities or interest rate swaps or other benchmark instruments, and should always be explicitly ...

  4. Bootstrapping (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(finance)

    To derive this rate we observe that the theoretical price of a bond can be calculated as the present value of the cash flows to be received in the future. In the case of swap rates, we want the par bond rate (Swaps are priced at par when created) and therefore we require that the present value of the future cash flows and principal be equal to ...

  5. Yield spread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_spread

    For example, if a risk-free 10-year Treasury note is currently yielding 5% while junk bonds with the same duration are averaging 7%, then the spread between Treasuries and junk bonds is 2%. If that spread widens to 4% (increasing the junk bond yield to 9%), then the market is forecasting a greater risk of default, probably because of weaker ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwriting_spread

    The underwriting spread is the difference between the amount paid by the underwriting group in a new issue of securities and the price at which securities are offered for sale to the public. It is the underwriter's gross profit margin , usually expressed in points per unit of sale ( bond or stock ).

    Current ratio vs. quick ratio vs. debt-to-equity Other measures of liquidity and solvency that are similar to the current ratio might be more useful, depending on the situation.

  8. Duration (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duration_(finance)

    For bonds with fixed cash flows a price change can come from two sources: The passage of time (convergence towards par). This is of course totally predictable, and hence not a risk. A change in the yield. This can be due to a change in the benchmark yield, and/or change in the yield spread.

  9. Fixed-income attribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-income_attribution

    For instance, a bond paying a 10% annual coupon will always pay 10% of its face value to the owner each year, even if there is no change in market conditions. However, the effective yield on the bond may well be different, since the market price of the bond is usually different from the face value. Yield return is calculated from
