• LONG COUPON
  
  Sometimes bonds are issued with a bond date of greater than six months from the issue date. Coupons after the initial, long coupon are every six months. A long coupon reduces the effective yield-to-maturity by reducing the income that can be earned from reinvestment of the coupon.
