Bond Valuation Concepts in One Map
A bond valuation mind map shows how a bond's price is found from its future payments. The price of a bond equals the present value of its coupon payments plus the present value of its face value at maturity, each discounted at the market yield. Because yield and price move in opposite directions, the map links these ideas to duration and convexity, which measure how sensitive price is to rate changes.
- Cash flows: coupon payments and the final principal repayment
- Discount rate: yield to maturity and how it reflects market rates
- Price-yield relationship: why bond prices fall when yields rise
- Duration: a measure of interest rate risk and price sensitivity
- Premium, par and discount: how coupon rate versus yield sets the price
Use the map to revise the formulas, check how each branch affects price, and spot gaps before an exam. You can build a personalized bond valuation map from your own notes with CogniGuide.
Bond Valuation Questions Answered
Common questions about bond pricing, and how to make your own map.
Why does a bond's price fall when interest rates rise?
New bonds pay the higher market rate, so existing bonds with lower coupons are worth less. Their price must drop until their yield matches the market rate.
What is yield to maturity?
Yield to maturity is the single discount rate that equates a bond's price with the present value of all its remaining cash flows, assuming it is held to maturity.
Which files can I upload to make a bond valuation map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) files, text or Markdown notes, or images of your notes. You can also just type the topic.
Can I turn my bond map into a quiz?
Yes. Any CogniGuide map can be turned into a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can also become flashcards. There is a free plan with 5 creations a week.
