Dutch term

meeverkochte rente

Dutch to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities term taken from an annual income statement
This term appears in an annual income statement and relates to interest (investments).
I could find information about "meegekochte rente", but not as much about "meeverkochte rente".

June Derlachter (asker) Feb 8, 2018:
Thanks for your comments, Michael! This is that term that comes along once in a blue moon- I could not get my head around it!
Michael Beijer Feb 8, 2018:
could meegekochte rente + meeverkochte rente perhaps be related to sale(s) interest + purchase interest?
Michael Beijer Feb 8, 2018:
they seem to be two different things see e.g.:

de bij aan- en verkoop betaalde
bedragen aan provisie en beursbetaling slechts in aanmerking genomen mogen worden voor zover
deze bedragen zijn toe te rekenen aan de meegekochte onderscheidenlijk meeverkochte rente, terwijl
de financieringskosten - en het negatieve resultaat dat de transacties in haar totaliteit beschouwd, los
van de belastingbesparing, in de vermogenssfeer hebben opgeleverd -buiten beschouwing dienen te
blijven;
(found online somewhere)

...but what they are is a mystery to me I'm afraid.

accrued interest income

I.e. accrued interest received on the sale of debt instruments like bonds. Versus meegekochte rente >> accrued interest expense (i.e. accrued interest paid on the purchase of debt instruments like bonds).

PS. This is about interest accrued on bonds (or other debt instruments) that are sold (meeverkochte rente) or purchased (meegekochte rente) in the secondary market between interest/coupon payment dates. In such cases, the buyer must pay the seller the so-called full or dirty price (i.e. flat/clean price plus accrued interest). Bonds sold/purchased on interest payment dates are priced at their flat/clean prices.

PS. The explanation provided above is correct in itself but, as you may have noticed, I decided to make a different glossary entry. On second thoughts, it seems that 'accrued interest sold' (meeverkochte rente) and 'accrued interest purchased' (meegekochte rente) are probably better translations than 'accrued interest income' and 'accrued interest expense' respectively. Although accrued interest received on the sale of bonds ('meeverkochte rente') is recorded as revenue (gross income) in the seller's income statement, I overlooked the fact that 'accrued interest income' has a different meaning in financial accounting. Idem for accrued interest paid on the purchase of bonds ('meegekochte rente'). This is recorded as expense in the buyer's income statement but is probably best translated as 'accrued interest purchased' rather than 'accrued interest expense'.
Note from asker:
Thank you for your input, Kitty! This is really what I have been looking for. I appreciate the links and extra notes.
I swear, this one kept me at my desk far longer than I wanted. The last thing I wrote down before I went to bed was "interest expense"... you saved a life today! :-D
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : so you are saying that meeverkochte means the same as meegekochte?

No, 'meeverkochte rente' and 'meegekochte rente' refer to resp. accrued interest received by the seller (= income) and accrued interest paid by the buyer (= expense) when bonds are sold/purchased between interest payment dates (in the secondary market).
agree Michael Beijer : wow, am going to add this one to my termbase.
