coupon stripping

coupon stripping

The purchase of ordinary bonds (usually, U.S. Treasury bonds) that are then repackaged such that the receipts to interest and corpus payments are sold separately. The effect is to transform a security paying regular interest into zero-coupon receipts of varying maturities. Sold under a variety of names such as CATS®, LIONS, and TIGRSM, these investments have proved popular for tax-sheltered accounts such as IRAs. Generic names for them include animals and felines. Also called stripping.
