Dated Date

The date at which interest begins to accrue on a fixed-income security. Investors who purchase a fixed-income security between interest payment dates must also pay the seller or issuer any interest that has accrued from the dated date to the purchase date, or settlement date, in addition to the face value.

Notes:

If the fixed-income security's date of issuance is the same as the dated date, the dated date is also the issue date.

dated date

The date on which a newly issued bond begins to accrue interest. The buyer of a bond in the primary market must pay the issuer interest accruing between the dated date and the settlement date in addition to the principal amount of bonds purchased. This additional interest is returned to the buyer when the issuer makes the first interest payment. For example, a new bond issue with a dated date of July 1 and a settlement date of July 20 would require purchasers to pay 19 days' interest in addition to the face value of the bonds. Also called issue date.
