FA-61075 / Bond day-count conventions / Member archive

Irregular first coupon accrued by quasi-coupon periods: every quasi period is measured with the latest period length · case 05

Accruals drift when earlier quasi periods have a different number of days.

Case contract

Inputs issue, first coupon and settlement [y,m,d], annual rate and months per period. Settlement must lie in [issue, first] else return "settlement outside first period". Quasi-coupon dates are generated back from the first coupon in steps of months (day clamped to month length) until one is on or before issue. For each quasi period [start, end), accrued days are those in [max(start, issue), min(end, settle)) and are divided by that quasi period length. Accrued = 100*rate/freq*sum, rounded to 6 decimals.

Why this case matters

Bond accrual and pricing systems depend on exact day-count arithmetic; a single-day error changes settlement cash.
