Federal Agency Discount Notes

Similar to Treasury Bills, Agency discount notes are issued by Federal Agencies at a discount to their maturity value (hence they are called discount notes). Discount notes are sometimes called Federal Agency discount notes.

What is an agency discount note?

An agency discount note is a short term investment alternative, typically available on a daily basis, through several different dealer firms. An Agency discount note has maturities ranging from overnight to 360 days.
