Can someone explain the reasoning? googs1484Participant CFA Level 3 30 Sep 2018 at 9:07 pm Up3:: if it is a coupon paying bond then you MUST include it. Not all bonds pay coupons. In short, if theres a coupon then include it, if not then don’t. Author Posts Viewing 1 reply thread You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
