What does redeeming a bond mean?
1. In bonds, the act of an issuer repurchasing a bond at or before maturity. Redemption is made at the face value of the bond unless it occurs before maturity, in which case the bond is bought back at a premium to compensate for lost interest.
What happens when a bond is called early?
Callable bonds are more risky for investors than non-callable bonds because an investor whose bond has been called is often faced with reinvesting the money at a lower, less attractive rate. As a result, callable bonds often have a higher annual return to compensate for the risk that the bonds might be called early.
What happens when you redeem a fixed income bond?
Redemptions can trigger capital gains or losses. People who invest in fixed-income securities receive regular interest payments at a fixed value. These instruments can be redeemed before or on the maturity date. If redeemed at the time of maturity, an investor receives the par value or the face value of the security.
Do you have to pay interest on redemption of savings bonds?

What happens when you redeem part of an investment?
