Accretion (of a Discount)
Accretion of a discount refers to the gain generated from the difference between the discounted purchase price and the face value of an asset.
Explanation of Specific Terms:
- Gain: The profit earned from an investment.
- Discounted purchase price: The price paid for an asset that is lower than its face value.
- Face value: The original value or nominal value of an asset, such as a bond or security.
- Asset: A resource with economic value, like bonds or other financial instruments.
Key Points for Beginners:
- Why it's important: Accretion of a discount allows investors to understand the potential profit from buying assets at a discount and holding them until they reach their face value.
- How it works: When an investor buys an asset for less than its face value, the difference (discount) increases over time as the asset approaches its maturity or full value, resulting in a gain for the investor.
