Identifying the Most Advantageous Bond Feature

Very Hard Fixed Income Securities Bond Features

Understanding the features of bonds is essential for evaluating fixed income securities. Consider the following three bonds with different embedded options:

Bond A is a callable bond with a coupon rate of 6%, redeemable by the issuer after 5 years. Bond B is a puttable bond offering a 5.5% coupon rate, which allows the bondholder to sell it back to the issuer at par after 5 years. Bond C is a convertible bond with a 4.5% coupon rate, which gives the bondholder the right to convert the bond into a specified number of shares of the issuing company's stock.

Given these characteristics, identify which bond feature provides the bondholder with the most advantageous position in a declining interest rate environment.
