interest depends on the period, we could have yearly interest, monthly interest etc.
when we want to have yearly interest rate, but we only get the interest rate per 6 months, we need

to tak compounding into account
ex. interest rate per 6 months = % 2
we have investment of E 1000

When we have cash flows, we have two options, put it on the bank or invest it

Bonds which are comparable should have comparable yields

There is a trade off between P and ↓

When we have two bonds (x and y), with r % =
2 and
*
ry = 3 %
, everyone wants to have bond y, so to adjust for
this we give bond x a higher price than bond y.
We need to be compensated when the probability that a cash flow is going to be paid is low

look at yield spreads which contains information about the financial health of a company
What investments risks are there when holding bonds?
Let's suppose, I am an insurer and I have a bond. At a certain time period, I get paid out a coupon, using this
coupon I can payout claims. However when the value of the coupon is larger than the amount that I need to
payout, I need to reinvest this difference again. Or the other way around, when I need to pay more than
the amount of coupon I received, I need to sell the bond.
However, yields change over time, which bring different risk:
>
Interest rate risk: bond value decreases, due to yield change
D
Reinvestment rate: coupons reinvested again against worse yield
&
, 8
Inflation risk: cash flows need to be higher to compensate
g
Liquidity risk: a bond is hard to sell or buy
We need to find a portfolio that minimizes these risks, we do this by analyzing how bonds react to market changes P

We analyse the effect of changes in yield on changes in bond prices AP

bond's price through its future cash flows, including both coupon payments and the
return of principal at maturity.
Hence new price is 92 25 .
Modified duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in
interest rates.
If I can control how a certain bond reacts to a change in yield. Then if I make a portfolio of bonds, I take many
bonds at the same time. They will all react to a change in yield, but then I can also calculate how my portfolio as a
total reacts to a change in yield. Then I can do some risk management, and try to ensure that the reaction is more
or less what I want it to be.
Create an bond portfolio which has
g Same PV as liabilities (enough value now in portfolio to pay liabilities)
Same (modified) duration as liabilities DBOND DLiabilities :
(PVBOND = PVAbilities)

I do not care about changes in cash flows if liabilities change in the same amount (as for example the
coupon prices go down, I do not care if I also have to pay less claims) immunization >
