Maturity Date

Maturity date is the stated date on which an obligation’s principal is due, subject to calls, defaults, extensions, or other contractual provisions.

Why this matters to income investors

Principal repayment timing affects how long income continues and when reinvestment is needed.

How to use maturity date 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.
