Q

Bond Yields:
Gross Redemption Yield

A

Flat Yield +/- % gain/loss per year at maturity

Takes into account not only the income from the bond but also the price it will ultimately be redeemed for.

Example:
ABC corporate bond 5% 2030. £96 per £100 nominal - 7 years to maturity.

Profit @ maturity = £100 - £96 = £4
Profit per year = £4 / 7 years = £0.57
Profit per year as % of current price =
£0.57/£96= 0.0059 x 100 = 0.59%

Add 0.59% (% profit @ maturity) to flat yield to get gross redemption yield.

Q

Cash Formula: AER

NB: AER should only be slightly higher than quoted rate

A

The annual equivalent rate on compounding interest.

R = quote rate of interest
N = number of periods compounding

Example:
ABC Bank have an account that pays a quoted nominal rate of 2% paid quarterly.

  1. R) Turn % into decimal - 2% become 0.02
  2. N = 4 (quarterly)
  3. R/N + 1 ….so…. 0.02/4 + 1 = 1.005
  4. then it’s 1.005 to the power of N so (1.005)^4 = 1.02015
  5. -1 so 1.02015 - 1 = 0.02015

6 * 100 to get AER so AER = 2.015%

Basic

(Flat Yield x 0.8)

Additional

(Flat Yield x 0.55)

Q

The Effect of Gearing

A

£5k @ £2.50 borrows extra £2.5k - share price rises to £3

Work out profit:
£5000/£2.50 = 2000 shares
£2500/£2.50 = 1000 shares
£3 x £3000 = £9000
£9000 - £7500 = £1500

Work out % gain on original invest:
Profit/Original Invest X 100%
£1500 / £5000 x 100% = 30%
