Overview: This tutorial encapsulates about Zero Coupon Securities. A zero coupon security, or a "stripped bond" is basically a regular coupon paying bond without the coupons. The process of "stripping" or "zeroing" a bond is usually done by a brokerage or bank. The bank or broker stripping the bonds then registers and trades these zeros as individual securities. After the bonds are stripped there are two parts, the principal and the coupons. The interest payments are known as "coupons", and the final payment at maturity is known as the "residual" since it is what is left over after the coupons are stripped off.
