• ACCRUAL NOTE
  
  A note that accrues daily interest only when the index rate (e.g., LIBOR) falls within some range (such as under 6.5%). A Fixed (Floating) Rate Accrual Note accrues interest that is a spread over the corresponding ordinary Fixed (Floating) Note. The spread compensates for the probability that the note will accrue no interest over some day.
