Hi there,
Step-up bonds are bonds which have increasing coupon payments. When you hold this kind of bond, the coupon payments you receive as a bond holder increase at certain intervals (every year, for example) throughout the bond term.
When a step-up bond matures, the face value of the bond is paid out to the holder as with standard bonds. Step-up bonds can be beneficial because the increasing coupon payment help compensate for possible inflation.
Best regards from Moneyguru
