Call Protection

Call protection is a period or provision limiting an issuer’s ability to redeem a security early.

Why this matters to income investors

A protected period can preserve interest payments against early issuer redemption.

How to use call protection in your research

Check the contractual dates and any right to repay early. Compare the cash flow you expect with what could happen if principal returns sooner or later and must be reinvested at a different yield.
