Brief Explanation of Pure Discount Instrument

The instrument is initially marketed for less than its experience value (at a discount).

It is a debt instrument that guarantees traders (holders/ buyers) a single set transaction on a predetermined upcoming time frame. In simple terms, this instrument will pay no interest until adulthood. At the adulthood time frame, the owner is eligible to obtain its experience value. It is a protection that is marketed at a lower price and used for the full experience value at adulthood, offering a good generate value, but that makes no earnings expenses prior to adulthood.
