Market price risk matters for short-term investment horizon
Horizon yield is negatively related to interest rates
Coupon reinvestment risk matters for long-term investment horizon
Horizon yield is positively related to interest rates
Macaulay duration
weighted avg. time of receipts
Assumption: one-time parallel shift
Interest rate risk & investment horizon
Investment horizon > Maculay duration: Reinvestment risk dominates market price risk
Investment horizon = Macaulay duration: offsets
Investment horizon < Macaulay duration: market price risk dominates
Duration gap = Macaulay duration - investment horizon
Duation gap < 0: reinvestment risk dominates
Duration gap = 0: reinvestment risk offsets market price risk
Duation gap > 0: market price risk dominates
Modified duration
percent change of bond's price when 100 basis points change in YTM

Interpret duration
Weighted average of time
Percentage change in price of 1% change in yield
Slope of price-yield curve
1st derivative
Properties
Longer time-to-maturity -> higher duration
Higher coupon rate -> lower duration
Higher YTM -> lower duration
Dollar duration
price change in units of currency given a change in YTM
Price value of a basis point (PVBP, DB01): money change when YTM changes 1 basis points
Effective duration
Duration
Yield duration
Macaulay duration
Modified duration
Modified Duration = Macaulay Duration / (1 periodic market yield)
Money duration
Money duration = annual modified duration * full price of bond
Curve duration
Effective duration
Effective duration: sensitivity of bond's price to a change in a benchmark yield curve
Key rate duration
bond's sensitivity to change in benchmark yield curve at a specific maturity segment
to identify shaping risks
to measure sensitivity to nonparallel shift
Analytical duration: mathematical formulas
correlation between benchmark yields and credit spreads
Empirical duration: historical data
Convexity
Definition and application
Benefit of greater convexity
Appreciates more in price
Depreciates less in price
Duration vs Convexity
Greater Duration
Longer time-to-maturity
Lower coupon rate
Lower yield-to-maturity
Greater convexity
Longer time-to-maturity
Lower coupon rate
Lower yield-to-maturity
Callable bond and putable bond
Callable bond
Lower effective duration
Negative convexity
Putable bond
Lower effective duration
Higher positive convexity
R6: Fundamentals of Credit Analysis
Credit Risk
Definition: risk of loss resulting from the issuer failing to make full and timely payments
Expected loss = default probability * loss severity
Loss severity = 1 - recovery rate
Spread risk
Credit migration risk
Market liquidity risk
Yield spread = credit spread liquidity premium
