Slide1

The length of a financial transaction is an important consideration in many financial transactions. However, this length is more than just the length of time. Two 20-year bonds, one with 10% coupons and the other with 5% coupons, would have the same length of time, but this does not take into account the differing coupon rates over that length of time.

Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4

An improved measure of length which would take coupon rate into account is to use the method of equated time as a measure of average length:

s1t1 + s2t2 + … + sntnt = ————————— s1 + s2 + … + sn

where amounts

s1 , s2 , … , sn are to be paid at respective times t1 , t2 , … , tn .

which can be written as

t = ————

nt = 1

nt = 1

ExercisesConsider two 20-year bonds, one with 5%

coupons and the other with 10% coupons.

For the 20-year bond with 5% coupons, average length isNote that in doing the calculation, we can use any face value, say $100, since this value can be changed by multiplying the numerator and denominator by any value.

A measure of length even better than the method of equated time is called Macaulay duration, where each cash flow in the method of equated time is replaced by its present value:

d

= ———— nt = 1tvt Rt

nt = 1vt RtThe following observations can be made about Macaulay duration:

* If i = 0, then d = t.

* The Macaulay duration d is a decreasing function of i, which is proven

later. (Intuitively, this can be seen because terms in the numerator are “discounted” relatively more as

t is larger.)* If there is only one cash flow (i.e., n = 1) at time t = 1, then d = t = 1.Slide5

The relative change in the present value

as the interest rate i interest rate changes is called interest rate sensitivity.

P(i) =

nt = 1vtRt = nt = 1

(1 + i

)t RtJust as the force of interest was defined by dividing the derivative of the accumulation function by the accumulation function, the volatility is defined to measure interest rate sensitivity is defined by dividing the derivative of the present value function of i by that present value function. Specifically, volatility is defined to be

volatility is often called modified duration.

To treat d as a function of the variable , we only need to replace vt by in the formula. To treat v as a function of the variable , we need to replace i in the function P(i) with . We will then need to find the derivative ofIt will follow that

In the definition of modified duration, P /(i

) was divided by P(i) to obtain a measure of duration independent of the magnitude of P(i). The first derivative can be interpreted as rate of change, while the second derivative can be interpreted as measuring convexity. A measure of convexity of present value independent of the magnitude of P(

i) is defined by

c =P //(i)



P(i)Note that the convexity of a straight line function is zero, since the second derivative of such a function is always zero.

Modified duration is used as a measure of interest sensitivity (i.e., rate of change) in present value, and is based on the derivative of present value with respect to interest rate

i

.

A measure of interest sensitivity (i.e., rate of change) in modified duration can be based on the derivative of present value with respect to interest rate i (and should be no surprise that convexity will be involved, since a second derivative is in general a rate of change of rate of change).
