Treasury Note
|
| ||
| Treasury notes are issued in terms of 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. T-notes, like T-bills, are sold at auction to institutions and governments and are an interest-bearing or coupon bond. | ||

Additional Comments:
These notes have a rate determined at auction which in turn determines the yield.
Once auctioned, the notes can be held by the buyer or resold in the secondary market to individual investors and businesses. The selling price at auction and in the secondary market is a function of the par value or face value of the note plus the revenue stream from the bond over the term until maturity. T-notes are quoted in 1/32nds as a percentage of their face value as well. These notes are not necessarily issued or traded in the secondary market at a discount; they are often traded at a premium to the face value because of the value of the revenue stream from the coupon rate. |
