Floating rate notes ( FRNs) are bonds that have a variable coupon, equal to a money market reference rate, like SOFR or federal funds rate, plus a quoted spread (also known as quoted margin ). The spread is a rate that remains constant. Almost all FRNs have quarterly coupons, i.e. they pay out interest every three months.

[ 1] Coupons are normally described in terms of the "coupon rate", which is calculated by adding the sum of coupons paid per year and dividing it by the bond's face value. [ 2]
A zero-coupon inflation swap ( ZCIS ), also called a zero-coupon inflation-indexed swap ( ZCIIS ), is a standard derivative product whose payoff depends on the inflation rate realized over a given period of time.
