Bidding and prices

  • Trade price is expressed as the percentage of the bond's principal balance
  • Trade amount is the total dollar amount paid for the loan
    • [Trade Price] x [Principal Balance]
  • Trade premium is the difference between the principal balance and the trade amount
    • [Trade Amount] - [Principal Balance]
  • Example:
    • A trade price of 101.00 on $100,000 would have a trade amount of $101,000 and a trade premium of $1,000
