What is a bond?

A claim on some fixed future cash flow(s), CF.


The bond matures at the time of its last cash
flow, T.
Typically a large cash flow at maturity. We
call this the par value or face value (FV).
There may be a series of smaller cash flows
before maturity. We call these coupons.
There may be zero, one or more coupons in a
given year.
