Issuers pay coupons on perpetual bonds forever, and they do not have to redeem the principal. Perpetual bond cash flows are, therefore, those of a perpetuity. Perpetual bonds vs. equity * Although similar to equity, perpetual bonds do not have attached votes and, therefore, provide no means of control over the issuer. * Perpetual bonds are still fixed-income securities; therefore, paying coupons is mandatory whereas paying dividends on equity is discretionary.
