Comparing Yields on US Bonds and Eurodollar Bonds
U.S. Bonds pay semiannual coupons Eurobonds pay annual coupons Bond Equivalent Yield (BEY) of Eurobond
= 2[(1 + YTM on eurobond)1/2 - 1] Example:
YTM on Eurobond = 10%.
BEY = 2[(1.1).5 -1] = 0.09762 = 9.762% Thus, Eurobonds must offer higher yields (all else is
equal).

Straight Fixed Rate Debt
‘Plain Vanilla’ Bonds Typically have annual coupons. Since most Eurobonds are bearer bonds,
coupon dates tend to be annual rather than semi-annual, less costly for issuer.
The vast majority (71% in 2002) of new international bond offerings are straight fixed-rate issues.
