Refunded Bond

    0.01 sec.
Refunded bond
Also called a prerefunded bond, a bond that originally may have been issued as a general obligation or revenue bond but that is now secured by an escrow fund consisting entirely of direct U.S. government obligations that are sufficient for paying the bondholders.

Refunded Bond
A bond whose principal is held in an escrow account, generally invested in Treasury securities or something else risk-free, until such time as the bond matures. That means that there is no possibility of default on the principal; as a result, refunded bonds usually have the highest possible credit ratings. They are also called prerefunded bonds.

There are three types of refundings--current, advance and crossover refundings; they are distinguished by when the refunded bonds are called and the purpose of the escrow account created by the refunding bonds.
The bonds were refunded on May 9, 2007 with proceeds of the corporation's limited obligation revenue refunding bonds, series 2007 (Heritage Community of Kalamazoo Project), and amounts securing the refunded bonds prior to the refunding.
Because the escrow account can only earn the low refunding bond rate, but must pay the high refunded bond rate, the escrow account requires more funds, resulting in a higher issue size, further resulting in a lower savings level.
