For example, let's say a 6% coupon bond is issued and is due to mature in five years. An investor purchases $10,000 worth and receives coupon payments of 6% x $10,000 or $600 annually. Three years after issuance, the interest rates fall to 4%, and the issuer calls the bond.
Buying a bond option (call) The buyer of a bond option (call) has the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying asset at an agreed price. If the price is higher than the strike price at the time of expiry, the option can be exercised at a profit.
A put option on a bond, also known as a put provision, gives the holder the right to demand the issuer pay back the principal before the bond matures, for whatever reason. There are several reasons why a bond holder might exercise a put provision on a bond.
For example, an investor purchases a bond put option with a strike price of $950. The par value of the underlying bond security is $1,000. If as expected, interest rates increase and the bond's price falls to $930, the put buyer will exercise his right to sell his bond at the $950 strike price.
In the absence of default and interest rate volatility, the bond's future cash flows are certain. Thus, the value of a callable or putable bond can be calculated by discounting the bond's future cash flows at the appropriate one-period forward rates, taking into consideration the decision to exercise the option.
