Interest payable on the stepped-coupon bond is paid annually on a specified date. The interest rate is guaranteed to rise every year, from 2.625% p.a1 in the first year to 5% p.a. 1 in the fifth year. This enables investors to benefit from guaranteed interest rate increases.
Capital is repaid at 100 per cent of the nominal value at the end of the term.
The stepped-coupon bond is subject to price fluctuations during its term. The capital is repaid at the nominal value on the repayment date in accordance with the terms and conditions of issue. An investor may sell a bond at the relevant market price before maturity; the market price is influenced by market interest rate levels, liquidity, the borrower’s rating, and by the laws of supply and demand. If the investment is not held to maturity there is a risk that investors may not get back the full amount invested, especially if the investment is only held for a short time.
