Accrued market discount The rise in the market value of a discount bond as it approaches maturity (when it is redeemable at par) and not because of falling market interest rates. 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.
