  1. Fixed Income Zvi Wiener

  2. Plan • Pricing of Bonds • Measuring yield • Bond Price Volatility • Factors Affecting Yields and the Term Structure of IR • Treasury and Agency Securities Markets • Corporate Debt Instruments • Municipals

  3. Plan • Non-US Bonds • Mortgage Loans • Mortgage Pass-Through Securities • CMO and Stripped MBS • ABS • Bonds with Embedded Options • Analysis of MBS • Analysis of Convertible Bonds

  4. Plan • Active Bond Portfolio Management • Indexing • Liability Funding Strategies • Bond Performance Measurement • Interest Rate Futures • Interest Rate Options • Interest Rate Swaps, Caps, Floors

  5. Characteristics of a Bond • Issuer • Time to maturity • Coupon rate, type and frequency • Linkage • Embedded options • Indentures • Guarantees or collateral

  6. Sources • Fabozzi, “Bond Markets, Analysis and Strategies”, Prentice Hall. • P. Wilmott, Derivatives, Wiley. • Hull, White, Manuscript.

  7. Sectors • Treasury sector: bills, notes, bonds • Agency sector: debentures (no collateral) • Municipal sector: tax exempt • Corporate sector: US and Yankee issues • bonds, notes, structured notes, CP • investment grade and noninvestment grade • Asset-backed securities sector • MBS sector

  8. Basic terms • Principal • Coupon, discount and premium bonds • Zero coupon bonds • Floating rate bonds • Inverse floaters • Deferred coupon bonds • Amortization schedule • Convertible bonds

  9. Basic Terms • The Money Market Account • LIBOR = London Interbank Offer Rate, see BBA Internet site • FRA = Forward Rate Agreement • Repos, reverse repos • Strips = Separate Trading of Registeres Interest and Principal of Securities

  10. Basic Terms • gilts (bonds issued by the UK government) • JGB = Japanese Government Bonds • Yen denominated issued by non-Japanese institutions are called Samurai bonds

  11. Major risks • Interest rate risk • Default risk • Reinvestment risk • Currency risk • Liquidity risk

  12. -PV 5 5 5 5 105 Time Value of Money • present value PV = CFt/(1+r)t • Future value FV = CFt(1+r)t • Net present value NPV = sum of all PV

  13. Term structure of interest rates Yield = IRR How do we know that there is a solution?

  14. Price-Yield Relationship • Price and yield (of a straight bond) move in opposite directions. price yield

  15. General pricing formula

  16. Accrued Interest Accrued interest = interest due in full period* (number of days since last coupon)/ (number of days in period between coupon payments)

  17. Day Count Convention Actual/Actual - true number of days 30/360 - assume that there are 30 days in each month and 360 days in a year. Actual/360

  18. Floater The coupon rate of a floater is equal to a reference rate plus a spread. For example LIBOR + 50 bp. Sometimes it has a cap or a floor.

  19. Inverse Floater Is usually created from a fixed rate security. Floater coupon = LIBOR + 1% Inverse Floater coupon = 10% - LIBOR Note that the sum is a fixed rate security. If LIBOR>10% there is typically a floor.

  20. Price Quotes and Accrued Interest Assume that the par value of a bond is $1,000. Price quote is in % of par + accrued interest the accrued interest must compensate the seller for the next coupon.

  21. Annualizing Yield Effective annual yield = (1+periodic rate)m-1 examples Effective annual yield = 1.042-1=8.16% Effective annual yield = 1.024-1=8.24%

  22. Bond selling at Relationship Par Coupon rate=current yield=YTM Discount Coupon rate<current yield<YTM Premium Coupon rate>current yield>YTM Yield to call uses the first call as cashflow. Yield of a portfolio is calculated with the total cashflow.

  23. YTM and Reinvestment Risk • YTM assumes that all coupon (and amortizing) payments will be invested at the same yield.

  24. YTM and Reinvestment Risk • An investor has a 5 years horizon Bond Coupon Maturity YTM A 5% 3 9.0% B 6% 20 8.6% C 11% 15 9.2% D 8% 5 8.0% What is the best choice?

  25. Bond Price Volatility Consider only IR as a risk factor Longer TTM means higher volatility Lower coupons means higher volatility Floaters have a very low price volatility Price is also affected by coupon payments Price value of a Basis Point = price change resulting from a change of 0.01% in the yield.

  26. Duration and IR sensitivity

  27. Duration

  28. Duration

  29. Duration Bond duration price impact of +1% YTM A 3 yr B 1 yr C 10 yr D 20 yr -3% -1% -10% -20%

  30. Measuring Price Change

  31. The Yield to Maturity The yield to maturity of a fixed coupon bond y is given by

  32. Macaulay Duration Definition of duration, assuming t=0.

  33. Macaulay Duration What is the duration of a zero coupon bond? A weighted sum of times to maturities of each coupon.

  34. $ r Meaning of Duration

  35. $ r Convexity

  36. FRA Forward Rate Agreement A contract entered at t=0, where the parties (a lender and a borrower) agree to let a certain interest rate R*, act on a prespecified principal, K, over some future time period [S,T]. Assuming continuous compounding we have at time S: -K at time T: KeR*(T-S) Calculate the FRA rate R* which makes PV=0 hint: it is equal to forward rate

  37. ALM Duration • Does NOT work! • Wrong units of measurement • Division by a small number

  38. ALM Duration A similar problem with measuring yield

  39. Do not think of duration as a measure of time!

  40. Key rate duration • Principal component duration • Partial duration

  41. Factors affecting Bond yields and TS • Base interest rate - benchmark interest rate • Risk Premium - spread • Expected liquidity • Market forces - Demand and supply

  42. Taxability of interest • qualified municipal bonds are exempts from federal taxes. After tax yield = pretax yield (1- marginal tax rate)

  43. Do not use yield curve to price bonds Period A B 1-9 $6 $1 10 $106 $101 They can not be priced by discounting cashflow with the same yield because of different structure of CF. Use spot rates (yield on zero-coupon Treasuries) instead!

  44. On-the-run Treasury issues Off-the-run Treasury issues Special securities Lending Repos and reverse repos

  45. Forward Rates Buy a two years bond Buy a one year bond and then use the money to buy another bond (the price can be fixed today). (1+r2)=(1+r1)(1+f12)

  46. Forward Rates (1+r3)=(1+r1)(1+f13)= (1+r1)(1+f12)(1+f13) Term structure of instantaneous forward rates.

  47. Determinants of the Term Structure Expectation theory Market segmentation theory Liquidity theory Mathematical models: Ho-Lee, Vasichek, Hull-White, HJM, etc.

  48. Home Assignment • What is the duration of a floater? • What is the duration of an inverse floater? • How coupon payments affect duration? • Why modified duration is better than Macaulay duration? • How duration can be used for hedging?
