Fußnoten
1
In earlier days bond investors physically held certificates promising the coupon payments and principal repayments. To receive interest payments the investor would exchange coupons against cash on the payment dates. The coupons came in the form of stubs attached to the main bond certificate. Nowadays bond certificates are typically held by trustees and payments are made based on electronic registration systems.

We will refer to currencies by their three-letter ISO 4217 codes as used in currency trading, for example EUR, GBP, USD, CHF, JPY, SEK.

If a bond with a face value of 100 trades at 100, it is said to price at par. If it trades below 100, one would say that it trades at a discount to face value, and for prices of above 100 we would say it trades at a premium to face value

When using a 30/360 method, there are different conventions of counting when e.g. D2 = 31 and D1 = 30.

Concretely, the Euribor rate is determined based on the offering rates of 43 panel banks (as of May 2012), and after eliminating the top and lowest 15 % of the quotes, the Euribor is computed as the arithmetic mean across the remaining figures, rounded to three decimal places.

Standard products that show no exceptional features are often called ‘(plain) vanilla’, like vanilla ice cream, which seems to be one of the top-selling flavors.

The present value is generally defined as the value that a particular stream of future cash flows has at present.
 
10
The term ‘value’ is used here in the sense of fair value. See Chapter 2 for a general discussion.

The yield/price quotes used here roughly correspond to EU AAA government bonds as of Jan 2005 (cf. Figure 1.3. Yield/price quotes for government bonds can e.g. be obtained at www.​bloomberg.​com/​markets/​.

Short-selling can be imagined as borrowing today’s price of a stock, while the repayment will be again at the (future) price of the stock. If the stock price falls, the short-seller will gain, as he has to repay less.
 
13
The forward interest rates as implicitly used here will be discussed further in Chapter 9.
