What is DTD for bonds?

Dated Date (DTD) The day on which a bond’s interest begins to accrue.

The maturity date is the date on which the bond will mature and the bond issuer will pay the bondholder the face value of the bond. The issue price is the price at which the bond issuer originally sells the bonds .

An investor will receive his first $25 on the first coupon date, August 1, 2018. The first coupon period, then, is the period from the dated date until the first coupon date. The dated date is the date when interest starts to accrue on bonds and notes .

Interest accumulates from the date a loan is issued or when a bond’s coupon is made . A bond represents a debt obligation whereby the owner (the lender) receives compensation in the form of interest payments. These interest payments, known as coupons, are typically paid every six months.

The pricing date is the day the interest rate, yield, and price for each maturity of a bond issue are established . The pricing period length can range from hours to multiple days depending on the circumstance.

The bond’s issue date will be printed below the series designation . The print date will appear below that. The number in the top left is the face value. Series EE paper bonds were sold for half of that amount.

The settlement date is the date a buyer purchases a coupon, such as a bond. The maturity date is the date when a coupon expires . For example, suppose a 30-year bond is issued on January 1, 2008, and is purchased by a buyer six months later.
