deep discount bond
Definition
Bond trading at a discount of 20 percent or more of its par value. It is a common occurrence with zero-coupon bonds, but may also happen with interest bearing bonds for reasons such as too low an interest rate or a sudden plunge in the bond issuer's credit rating. Deep discount bonds appreciate faster than other types of bonds when market interest rates fall, and depreciate faster when the rates rise.
