Interest-bearing Instruments & Discount Instruments There are basically two types of instruments issued and traded in the money market, namely: 1. Interest-bearing instruments These are instruments which pay interest on the amount invested, where the interest is normally paid to the holder of the instrument (the lender), together with the redemption amount at redemption date.

certain cases.

Interim interest payments may be made in 2. Discount instruments These are instruments that do not pay interest on the amount invested but are issued at a discount of the nominal value (the redemption amount).

The full nominal amount is paid only on maturity date. These instruments are called discount instruments.

Conventional Money Market

Interest Rates Vs. Discount Rates The discount rate on an instrument and the interest rate paid on an instrument are not the same, and cannot be compared to when deciding on an investment.

E.g.

Lets compare a one-year NCD with a nominal amount of RM1 million and an interest rate of 11% with a one-year BA of RM1 million and a discount rate of 11% Product NCD BA Amt Invested RM1,000,000 Interest/Discount amt RM 110,000 Redemption amt RM1,110,000 11.0% RM 890,000 RM 110,000 RM1,000,000 11.0% 12.3% School of Finance & Banking WF5083 Financial Risk Management WF5023 Semester July 2005

Conventional Money Market

Interest Rates Vs. Discount Rates From the above illustration, the yield on the NCD is: Interest Received Amount Invested = RM 110,000 RM1,000,000 = 11.0% The yield on an investment on the BA is, however: Discount Amount Amount Invested = RM 110,000 RM 890,000 = 12.3% The BA would thus give a higher yield and is the better investment, if the difference in risk on these instruments is ignored.

School of Finance & Banking WF5083 Financial Risk Management WF5023 Semester July 2005

Conventional Money Market

Interest Rates Vs. Discount Rates The discount rate on discount instruments must thus be converted to yield before it can be compared to interest rates offered on interest rate instruments.

The compounding period of rates must also be equal before they can be compared.
