Example
Portfolio consists of $1M of a bond with duration of 1 year and $1M worth of a bond with duration of 20 years.
What is the duration of the portfolio?
Zvi Wiener FI-2 4
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Rough calculation
Duration of the first bond is 1 year, of the second bond is 20 years.
This means that when IR go 1% up we will lose 1% of the first bond and 20% of the second.
All together we will lose 10.5% of the portfolio.
The duration is (roughly) 10.5 years.

For a simple bond portfolio it does not help much!
It is much more important to consider 2 risk factors!

Understanding of Duration/Convexity
What happens with duration when a coupon is paid?
How does convexity of a callable bond depend on interest rate?
How does convexity of a puttable bond depend on interest rate?
Zvi Wiener FI-2 12
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Callable bond
The buyer of a callable bond has written an option to the issuer to call the bond back.
Rationally this should be done when …
Interest rate fall and the debt issuer can refinance at a lower rate.
Zvi Wiener FI-2 13
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Puttable bond
The buyer of a such a bond can request the loan to be returned.
The rational strategy is to exercise this option when interest rates are high enough to provide an interesting alternative.

Passive Bond ManagementPassive management takes bond prices as
fairly set and seeks to control only the risk of the fixed-income portfolio.
• Indexing strategy– attempts to replicate a bond index
• Immunization– used to tailor the risk to specific needs
(insurance companies, pension funds)
Zvi Wiener FI-2 19
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Bond-Index Funds
Similar to stock indexing.
Major indices: Lehman Brothers, Merill Lynch, Salomon Brothers.
Include: government, corporate, mortgage-backed, Yankee bonds (dollar denominated, SEC registered bonds of foreign issuers, sold in the US).
Zvi Wiener FI-2 20

Bond-Index FundsProperties:
many issues
not all are liquid
replacement of maturing issues
Tracking error is a good measurement of performance. According to Salomon Bros. With $100M one can track the index within 4bp. tracking error per month.

Immunization
Immunization techniques refer to strategies used by investors to shield their overall financial status from exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
Zvi Wiener FI-2 23
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Net Worth Immunization
Banks and thrifts have a natural mismatch between assets and liabilities. Liabilities are primarily short-term deposits (low duration), assets are typically loans or mortgages (higher duration).
When will banks lose money, when IR increase or decline?
Zvi Wiener FI-2 24
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Gap ManagementARM are used to reduce duration of bank
portfolios.
Other derivative securities can be used.
Capital requirement on duration (exposure).
Basic idea:
to match duration of assets and liabilities.

Target Date ImmunizationImportant for pension funds and insurances.
Price risk and reinvestment risk.

Standard Immunization
Is very useful but is based on the assumption of the flat term structure. Often a higher order immunization is used (convexity, etc.).
Another reason for goal oriented mutual funds
(retirement, education, housing, medical expenses).
Zvi Wiener FI-2 35
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Cash Flow Matching and Dedication
Is a very reasonable strategy, but not always realizable.
Uncertainty of payments.
Lack of perfect match
Saving on transaction fees.
Zvi Wiener FI-2 36
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Active Bond Management
Mainly speculative approach based on ability to predict IR or credit enhancement or market imperfections (identifying mispriced loans).
Zvi Wiener FI-2 37
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Substitution SwapExchange of one bond for a very similar
bond.
Motivation: belief that one of them is mispriced.
Example: 20-yr, 9% coupon Ford Motor bond callable after 5 years at $1,050 versus a 9% coupon Chrysler bond with 20 yr to maturity.

Interest Rate SwapOne of the major fixed-income tools.
Example: 6m LIBOR versus 7% fixed.
Exchange of net cash flows.
Risk involved: IR risk, default risk (small).
Why the default risk on IR swaps is small?
Zvi Wiener FI-2 43

Interest Rate Swap

6.95% 7.05%
LIBOR LIBOR
No need in an actual loan.Can be used as a speculative tool or for hedging.
Zvi Wiener FI-2 44
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Currency SwapA similar exchange of two loans in different
currencies.
Subject to a higher default risk, because of the principal.
Is useful for international companies to hedge currency risk.

Auctions• The process begins several days before.
• “when issued market” after the announcement but before it takes place.
• On the day of the auctions bids may be submitted to FED.
• Competitive bids - quantity and yield
• Noncompetitive bids - small orders
Zvi Wiener FI-2 50
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Auctions• Uniform price method for 2, 5 year notes, TIPS
• Other issues have multiple price auction
• Bidders get securities at their bid price.
• Non-competitive get at the average price of competitive bids.

Quoting conventionsCoupon securities are quoted in terms of price
expressed in dollars.
Clean price excludes accrued interest.
Accrued interest =
next coupon*fraction of time that passed.
Bills are quoted in terms of discount rate as % of face value. Assuming 360 days in a year, i.e. multiplied by 360 and divided by the actual number of days remaining to maturity.

Creates zero-coupon securities.
US company must pay tax on accrued interest is taxed every year, so strips create a negative CF.

Determinants of the Yield CurveFederal Reserve sets a target level for the fed
funds rate - the rate at which depository institutions make uncollaterized overnight loans to one another.
Long-term rates reflect expectations of future rates and can be influenced by the outlook for monetary policy.
Zvi Wiener FI-2 64
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Liquidity
• Bid-offer spread 1-2 cents per $100 face• Corporate bonds for example 13 cents• High yield bonds 19 cents• on-the-run - recently issued in a particular
maturity class. With time became off-the-run.
• Flight to Quality (fall 98) bid-ask 16-25 cents.

Repurchase Agreements
Borrowing and lending using Treasuries and other debt as collateral.
Repo (loan). You sell a security to counterparty and agree to repurchase the same security at a specified price at a later date (often next day).
Reverse Repo - you agree to purchase a security and sell it back at a specified price later.
Zvi Wiener FI-2 66
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Repurchase AgreementsMost repos are general-collateral repo rate.Some securities are special (for example on-
the-run).Specialness peaks around next auction, then
declines sharply.NY FED operates a securities lending for
primary dealers using FED’s portfolio while posting other Treasury security as collateral.

Medium Term Notes (MTN)
Notes are registered with the SEC under Rule 415 (the shelf registration) and are offered continuously to investors by an agent of the issuer.
Maturities vary from 9 months to 30 years.
Can be either fixed or floating.
Very flexible way to raise debt!
Zvi Wiener FI-2 86
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Primary Market (MTN)
Issuer posts spreads over Treasuries for a variety of maturities.
Then an agent tries to find an investor. Minimal size is between $1M and $25M.
The schedule can be changes at any time!
Often structured MTNs are used (caps, floors, etc.) = structured notes.
Zvi Wiener FI-2 87

Structured Notes
Many institutional investors can use swaps and structured notes to participate in markets that were prohibited.
Another use of structured notes is in risk management.
Financial Engineering is used to create securities satisfying the needs of investors.

Commercial Papers
• Short term unsecured promissory note• An alternative to short term bank borrowing• A typical round-lot transaction is $100,000• In the USA maturity is up to 270 days• Requires less paperwork• Those with maturity up to 90 days can be
used as collateral for FED discount window.
Zvi Wiener FI-2 89
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Commercial Papers• Typically rolled over
• Rollover risk is backed by an unused bank credit line
• In order to issue CP one need either a high rating or good collateral
• Sometimes credit enhancement is used (LOC)
• CP issued in the USA by foreigners are called Yankee CP
Zvi Wiener FI-2 90
Http:\\www.tfii.org
Commercial Papers
• Between 71 an 89 there was one default on CP.
• 3 defaults occurred in 89 and 4 in 90
• Direct paper is sold without an agent
• Secondary market is thin
• There is a special rating for CP, P-1,3, A-1,3
• discount instruments, used by money market

Bankruptcy and Credit Rights
• liquidation - all assets will be distributed
• reorganization - a new corporate entity will result
• a company that files for protection becomes a debtor in possession and continues to operate under the supervision of the court
