"Industry News, Helpful Hint, & Upcoming Events" eNewsletter

September 19, 2023

This week's "Helpful Hint" is:

"What is dirty price vs clean price of a bond?"

The dirty price is typically quoted between brokers and investors, but the clean price or the price without accrued interest is usually considered the published price. The clean price would likely be recorded in newspapers or financial resources that perform price tracking. Although the dirty price includes accrued interest, the clean price is often considered to be the value of the bond in the current market.
