Accretion of Discount
(redirected from Accrued Market Discounts)

    0.01 sec.
Accretion of Discount
The increase in value of a security or other instrument as it approaches maturity. For example, suppose one buys a bond with a face value of $100 and pays $89. Because one is guaranteed to receive $100 when the bond matures, its value gradually increases between the purchase date and maturity. This increase is called the accretion of discount.
