FRN
#fixed #income
The coupon rate of a Floating Rate Note (FRN) includes two components: a reference rate plus a spread. The spread, also called margin, is typically constant and expressed in basis points (bps). The spread is set when the bond is issued based on the issuer’s creditworthiness at issuance: The higher the issuer’s credit quality, the lower the spread. The reference rate, however, resets periodically. Thus, as the reference rate changes, the coupon rate and coupon payment change accordingly
