Interest Rate Risk
adverse change in the price of a fixed income security due to changes in the level of interest rates

If interest rate goes up, the price of a fixed income security will go down. (inverse relationship)
Fixed Income Risks
Interest Rate Risk

Yield Curve Risk

Credit Risk
Interest Rate Risk Factors
Maturity – positive relationship

Coupon – inverse relationship

Yield – inverse relationship
Yield Curve Risk
investor may not be able to estimate the change in price of a bond portfolio if there is a nonparallel shift in the yield curve
Key Rate Duration
an estimation technique to address nonparallel shifts in the yield curve.
Credit Risk
Default Risk

Credit Spread Risk

Downgrade Risk
Liquidity Risk
risk to an investor that will be difficult to quickly sell
Reinvestment Risk
investment rate at which the future cash flows from a fixed income security can be reinvested will decrease.

none for a zero coupon bond
Call Risk
risk that a callable fixed income security will be "pursued" before maturity.
Event Risk
Natural Catastrophe Risk
Corporate Take Over Risk
Political Risk
Volatility
a drop in the price of a fixed income security
Exchange rate Risk
Risk due to Currency Slippage
Sovereign Risk
risk of security issued by foreign government where action of the government may result in default or adverse price change.
Yield to Maturity (YTM) (formula)
Annual Interest / Current Price
Coupon Rate (Formula)
YTM * Bond Price
Discount Bond
Current Yield > Coupon Rate
Premium Bond
Current Yield < Coupon Rate
Par Bond
Current Yield = Coupon Yield
Warranted Bond Price
the sum of discounted future cash inflows including the discounted terminal value.

An annual discount rate Kd is given that is divided by 2 when used with semiannual pay bonds.
Yield-To-Maturity (YTM)
the discount rate such that the sum of the discounted present values of the remaining cash flows is equal to the bond price.
Annual Pay YTM
[1 + YTM/2]^2 – 1
Effective Semiannual Yield
[1 + Annual Pay YTM]^0.5 – 1
Sources of Return on a Bond
Coupon Interest Payments

Reinvested coupon interest payments

Capital Gain (or Loss)
Realized Compound Annual YTM
([FBIV / BP]^(1/T)) – 1

i = (FV / PV)1/t – 1.]
Duration (Formula)
(V(-) - V(o)) / (2 x V(o) x ΔYTM)

where
V(-) = the price if yields declines
V(+)= the price if yield increases
V(o) is the initial price
Approximate % Price Change of Bond (Formula)
-[Duration x Yield change x 100]
Dollar Duration (Formula)
(Duration x Bond Price) / 100
Convexity Measure (Formula)
[V(+) + V(-) - (2V(o)]/[2 x V(o) x (Δ YTM)^2]

where
V(-) = the price if yields declines
V(+)= the price if yield increases
V(o) is the initial price
Convexity adjustment (Formula)
estimated convexity x (ΔYTM)^2 x 100

where:
ΔYTM = the decimal change in yield to maturity
Modified Duration (Formula)
Macaulay Duration/[1 + YTM/n]

where n=Number of periods/payments per year
Effective Duration (Formula)
[V(-) - V(+)]/[2 * V(o) * ΔYTM]

where
V(-) = the price if yields declines
V(+)= the price if yield increases
V(o) is the initial price
Price Value of a Basis Point (PVBP) (Formula)
Initial price - price if yield is changed by 1 basis point

or

Duration * ΔYTM * 100
