  2. Bond Valuation • Objectives for this session : • 1.Introduce the main categories of bonds • 2.Understand bond valuation • 3.Analyse the link between interest rates and bond prices • 4.Introduce the term structure of interest rates • 5.Examine why interest rates might vary according to maturity A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  3. Review: present value calculations • Cash flows: C1, C2, C3, … ,Ct, … CT • Discount factors: DF1, DF2, … ,DFt, … , DFT • Present value: PV = C1×DF1 + C2×DF2 + … + CT×DFT If r1 = r2 = ...=r A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  4. Review: Shortcut formulas • Constant perpetuity: Ct = C for all t • Growing perpetuity: Ct = Ct-1(1+g) r>g t = 1 to ∞ • Constant annuity: Ct=Ct=1 to T • Growing annuity: Ct = Ct-1(1+g) t = 1 to T A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  9. Zero-coupon bond • Pure discount bond - Bullet bond • The bondholder has a right to receive: • one future payment (the face value) F • at a future date (the maturity) T • Example : a 10-year zero-coupon bond with face value $1,000 • Value of a zero-coupon bond: • Example : • If the 1-year interest rate is 5% and is assumed to remain constant • the zero of the previous example would sell for A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  10. Level-coupon bond • Periodic interest payments (coupons) • Europe : most often once a year • US : every 6 months • Coupon usually expressed as % of principal • At maturity, repayment of principal • Example : Government bond issued on March 31,2000 • Coupon 6.50% • Face value 100 • Final maturity 2005 • 200020012002200320042005 • 6.50 6.50 6.50 6.50 106.50 A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  11. Valuing a level coupon bond • Example: If r = 5% • Note: If P0 >: the bond is sold at a premium • If P0 <F: the bond is sold at a discount • Expected price one year later P1 = 105.32 • Expected return: [6.50 + (105.32 – 106.49)]/106.49 = 5% A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  12. A level coupon bond as a portfolio of zero-coupons • « Cut » level coupon bond into 5 zero-coupon • Face value Maturity Value • Zero 1 6.50 1 6.19 • Zero 2 6.50 2 5.89 • Zero 3 6.50 3 5.61 • Zero 4 6.50 4 5.35 • Zero 5 106.50 5 83.44 • Total 106.49 A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  13. Bond prices and interest rates Bond prices fall with a rise in interest rates and rise with a fall in interest rates A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  14. Sensitivity of zero-coupons to interest rate A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  15. Duration for Zero-coupons • Consider a zero-coupon with t years to maturity: • What happens if r changes? • For given P, the change is proportional to the maturity. • As a first approximation (for small change of r): Duration = Maturity A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  16. Duration for coupon bonds • Consider now a bond with cash flows: C1, ...,CT • View as a portfolio of T zero-coupons. • The value of the bond is: P = PV(C1) + PV(C2) + ...+ PV(CT) • Fraction invested in zero-coupon t: wt= PV(Ct) / P • • • Duration : weighted average maturity of zero-coupons D= w1 × 1 + w2 × 2 + w3 × 3+…+wt× t +…+ wT×T A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  17. Duration - example • Back to our 5-year 6.50% coupon bond. Face value Value wt Zero 1 6.50 6.19 5.81% Zero 2 6.50 5.89 5.53% Zero 3 6.50 5.61 5.27% Zero 4 6.50 5.35 5.02% Zero 5 106.50 83.44 78.35% Total 106.49 • Duration = .0581×1 + .0553×2 + .0527 ×3 + .0502 ×4 + .7835 ×5 • = 4.44 • For coupon bonds, duration < maturity A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  18. Price change calculation based on duration • General formula: • In example: Duration = 4.44 (when r=5%) • If Δr =+1% : Δ×4.44 × 1% = - 4.23% • Check: If r = 6%, P = 102.11 • ΔP/P = (102.11 – 106.49)/106.49 = - 4.11% Difference due to convexity A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  19. Duration -mathematics • If the interest rate changes: • Divide both terms by P to calculate a percentage change: • As: • we get: A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  20. Yield to maturity • Suppose that the bond price is known. • Yield to maturity = implicit discount rate • Solution of following equation: A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  21. Yield to maturity vs IRR The yield to maturity is the internal rate of return (IRR) for an investment in a bond. A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  22. Asset Liability Management • Balance sheet of financial institution (mkt values): • Assets = Equity + Liabilities → ∆A = ∆E + ∆L • As: ∆P = -D * P * ∆r (D = modified duration) -DAsset * A * ∆r = -DEquity * E * ∆r - DLiabilities * L * ∆r DAsset * A = DEquity * E + DLiabilities * L A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  23. Examples SAVING BANK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  24. Immunization: DEquity = 0 • As: DAsset * A = DEquity * E + DLiabilities * L • DEquity = 0 → DAsset * A = DLiabilities * L A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  25. Spot rates • Spot rate = yield to maturity of zero coupon • Consider the following prices for zero-coupons (Face value = 100): Maturity Price 1-year 95.24 2-year 89.85 • The one-year spot rate is obtained by solving: • The two-year spot rate is calculated as follow: • Buying a 2-year zero coupon means that you invest for two years at an average rate of 5.5% A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  26. Measuring spot rate Data: To recover spot prices, solve: 99.06 = 106 * d1103.70 = 9 * d1 + 109 * d2 97.54 = 6.5 * d1 + 6.5 * d2 + 106.5 * d3100.36 = 8 * d1 + 8 * d2 + 8 * d3 + 108 * d4 Solution: A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  27. Forward rates • You know that the 1-year rate is 5%. • What rate do you lock in for the second year ? • This rate is called the forward rate • It is calculated as follow: • 89.85 × (1.05) × (1+f2) = 100 →f2 = 6% • In general: (1+r1)(1+f2) = (1+r2)² • Solving for f2: • The general formula is: A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  28. Forward rates :example • Maturity Discount factor Spot rates Forward rates • 1 0.9500 5.26 • 2 0.8968 5.60 5.93 • 3 0.8444 5.80 6.21 • 4 0.7951 5.90 6.20 • 5 0.7473 6.00 6.40 • Details of calculation: • 3-year spot rate : • 1-year forward rate from 3 to 4 A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  29. Why do spot rates for different maturities differ ? As r1 < r2 if f2 > r1 r1 = r2 if f2 = r1 r1 > r2 if f2 < r1 The relationship of spot rates with different maturities is known as the term structure of interest rates Term structure of interest rates Upward sloping Spotrate Flat Downward sloping Time to maturity A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  30. Forward rates and expected future spot rates • Assume risk neutrality • 1-year spot rate r1 = 5%, 2-year spot rate r2 = 5.5% • Suppose that the expected 1-year spot rate in 1 year E(r1) = 6% • STRATEGY 1 : ROLLOVER • Expected future value of rollover strategy: • ($100) invested for 2 years : • 111.3 = 100 × 1.05 × 1.06 = 100 × (1+r1) × (1+E(r1)) • STRATEGY 2 : Buy 1.113 2-year zero coupon, face value = 100 A.Farber Vietnam 2004

  31. Equilibrium forward rate • Both strategies lead to the same future expected cash flow • → their costs should be identical • In this simple setting, the foward rate is equal to the expected future spot rate f2 =E(r1) • Forward rates contain information about the evolution of future spot rates A.Farber Vietnam 2004
