__NOTOC__
A bond which pays periodic coupons in perpetuity, but never repays the principal.  
A rate of return - or cost of borrowing - expressed as the proportion by which the amount at the end of the period exceeds the amount at the start.  


Also known as an Irredeemable bond.


==Example 1==
GBP 1 million is borrowed or invested.


GBP 1.03 million is repayable at the end of the period.

The periodic yield (r) is:
[[Category:Financial_products_and_markets]]
 
r = (End amount / start amount) - 1
 
= (1.03 / 1) - 1
 
= 0.03
 
= '''3%'''
 
 
==Example 2==
GBP  0.97 million is borrowed or invested.
 
GBP 1.00 million is repayable at the end of the period.
 
 
The periodic yield (r) is:
 
(End amount / start amount) - 1
 
= (1.00 / 0.97) - 1
 
= 0.030928
 
= '''3.0928%'''
 
 
==Example 3==
GBP  0.97 million is invested.
 
The periodic yield is 3.0928%.
 
Calculate the amount repayable at the end of the period.
 
===Solution===
The periodic yield (r) is defined as:
 
r = (End amount / start amount) - 1
 
 
Rearranging this relationship:
 
End amount = Start amount x (1 + r)
 
 
Substituting the given information into this relationship:
 
End amount = GBP 0.97m x (1 + 0.030928)
 
= '''GBP 1.00m'''
 
 
==Example 4==
An investment will pay out a single amount of GBP 1.00m at its final maturity after one period.
 
The periodic yield is 3.0928%.
 
Calculate the amount invested at the start of the period.
 
===Solution===
As before, the periodic yield (r) is defined as:
 
r = (End amount / start amount) - 1
 
 
Rearranging this relationship:
 
Start amount = End amount / (1 + r)
 
 
Substitute the given data into this relationship:
 
Start amount = GBP 1.00m / (1 + 0.030928)
 
= '''GBP 0.97m'''
 
 
Check:
 
0.97 x 1.030928
 
= 1.00, as expected.
