FCA Plain Vanilla Listed Bond: An FCA Plain Vanilla Listed Bond is a type of debt security defined by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as simple, transparent, and suitable for retail investors. It is listed on a recognised exchange and considered “plain vanilla” because it avoids complex features like embedded options. Instead, it pays a fixed or standard floating coupon and has a set maturity date. These bonds must be unsubordinated, unsecured, and not subject to bail-in or write-down provisions.

Denomination: The denomination of a bond is equal to its par value - the amount repaid to the holder at maturity. Denomination represents the unit size of the bond for trading and settlement. Bonds are typically issued in standard denominations (e.g., £1,000 or €1,000), and investors purchase in multiples of this amount. Minimum denomination refers to the smallest allowable amount an investor can buy, which may be one unit or a higher multiple set by the issuer.
