CHAPTER 16 Managing Bond Portfolios Immunization Immunization is a way to control interest rate risk. Widely used by pension funds, insurance companies, and banks. Immunization Immunize a portfolio by matching the interest rate exposure of assets and liabilities. This means: Match the duration of the assets and liabilities. Price risk and reinvestment rate risk exactly cancel out. Result: Value of assets will track the value of liabilities whether rates rise or fall.

Cash flow matching is a dedication strategy. Not widely used because of constraints associated with bond choices. Substitution swap Intermarket swap Rate anticipation swap Pure yield pickup Tax swap Active Management: Swapping Strategies Horizon Analysis Select a particular holding period and predict the yield curve at end of period. Given a bond’s time to maturity at the end of the holding period, its yield can be read from the predicted yield curve and the end-of-period price can be calculated.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Bond prices and yields are inversely related. An increase in a bond’s yield to maturity results in a smaller price change than a decrease of equal magnitude. Long-term bonds tend to be more price sensitive than short-term bonds. Bond Pricing Relationships As maturity increases, price sensitivity increases at a decreasing rate. Interest rate risk is inversely related to the bond’s coupon rate. Price sensitivity is inversely related to the yield to maturity at which the bond is selling.
