On The Run and Off The Run
• Treasury issues are divided into 2 categories based
on their vintage :
• On the run issues, the most recently auctined
Treasury issues.
• Off the run issues, older issues that have been
replaced (as most traded issue) by a more recently
auctioned issued. Issues replaced by several more
recent issues are known as well off the run issues
TIPSs
• Coupon rate reflects real rate, net of inflation, change in inflation reflected in
the principal
• TIPS Coupon payment = inflation-adjusted par value x
(stated coupon rate/2)
• Cons: if consumer prices decline, so does the principal. Also, inflation
adjustments are taxed
• Example of TIPS : A TIPS has coupon rate of 3%, par value of $100,000.
Annual inflation rate: 4%, compute the semi-annual coupon payment!
• Answer:
• Semi annual inflation = 4% x 0.5 = 2%
• Inflation-adjusted principal = $100,000 x (1+0.02) = $102,000
• Semi annual coupon payment = $102,000 x 1.5% = $1530
