TIGR stands for Term Investment Growth Receipt and is an outgrowth of the fast-evolving zero-coupon or strip-bond market.... With TIGR receipts, the coupons and face value of the bond represent a promise to pay a fixed amount at some future date. The price that the receipts fetch will depend on the time to maturity of the underlying coupon, the principal amount of the bond and the prevailing interest rates. 3, record 2, English, - Term%20Investment%20Growth%20Receipt
