Example

I don't understand the example. What is a dealer and what does "a market of 27 / 25" mean? Zain Ebrahim 12:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duration

FRN don't have a Duration close to Zero. It's close to the fixing frequency, expressed in years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Desx2501 (talkcontribs) 13:59, 2 September 2009 (UTC) What is the duration of a FRN? Please, help me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2806:2F0:90E1:6BF7:35BC:AE4:26D0:13F8 (talk) 04:39, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Risk

I believe that FRNs include inflation risk (the risk that present value of future coupons and repayment of principle will reduce as a result of increasing inflation) as well as credit risk. Inflation risk is different to interest rate risk since inflation and interest rate do not track one another. --85.158.138.20 (talk) 10:31, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

name

As John C. Hull speaks about a "floating-rate bond" in Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (fifth edition) P. 126 and this article says: "Floating rate notes (FRNs) are bonds [...]", it seems to me reasonable to redirect from "floating rate notes" to "floating-rate bond" - instead of the other way round, like up to now.

Macaulay duration

Why is the macaulay duration close to the time for the next rate adjustment? It should be explained better 2A0C:5A83:F802:EE00:40B5:EE44:B59F:84A7 (talk) 19:43, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
