The Fundamentals of Bond Valuation

• The present-value model

Where Pmthe current market price of the bond n
the number of years to maturity Ci the annual
coupon payment for bond i i the prevailing
yield to maturity for this bond issue Ppthe par
value of the bond
10
The Fundamentals of Bond Valuation

• If yield lt coupon rate, bond will be priced at a
  premium to its par value
• If yield gt coupon rate, bond will be priced at a
  discount to its par value
• Price-yield relationship is convex (not a
  straight line)

11
The Yield Model

• The expected yield on the bond may be computed
  from the market price

Where i the discount rate that will discount
the cash flows to equal the current market price
of the bond
12
Computing Bond Yields

• Yield Measure Purpose

Nominal Yield
Measures the coupon rate
Current yield
Measures current income rate
Promised yield to maturity
Measures expected rate of return for bond held to
maturity
Promised yield to call
Measures expected rate of return for bond held to
first call date
Measures expected rate of return for a bond
likely to be sold prior to maturity. It
considers specified reinvestment assumptions and
an estimated sales price. It can also measure
the actual rate of return on a bond during some
past period of time.
Realized (horizon) yield
13
Nominal Yield

• Measures the coupon rate that a bond investor
  receives as a percent of the bonds par value

14
Current Yield

• Similar to dividend yield for stocks
• Important to income oriented investors
• CY Ci/Pm
• where
• CY the current yield on a bond
• Ci the annual coupon payment of bond i
• Pm the current market price of the bond

15
Promised Yield to Maturity

• Widely used bond yield figure
• Assumes
• Investor holds bond to maturity
• All the bonds cash flow is reinvested at the
  computed yield to maturity

Solve for i that will equate the current price to
all cash flows from the bond to maturity, similar
to IRR
16
Computing the Promised Yield to Maturity

• Two methods
• Approximate promised yield
• Easy, less accurate
• Present-value model
• More involved, more accurate

17
Approximate Promised Yield

• Coupon Annual Straight-Line Amortization of
  Capital Gain or Loss
• Average Investment

18
Present-Value Model
19
Promised Yield to CallApproximation

• May be less than yield to maturity
• Reflects return to investor if bond is called and
  cannot be held to maturity

Where AYC approximate yield to call (YTC) Pc
call price of the bond Pm market price of the
bond Ct annual coupon payment nc the number
of years to first call date
20
Promised Yield to CallPresent-Value Method

• Where
• Pm market price of the bond
• Ci annual coupon payment
• nc number of years to first call
• Pc call price of the bond

21
Realized Yield Approximation
Where ARY approximate realized yield to call
(YTC) Pf estimated future selling price of the
bond Ci annual coupon payment hp the number
of years in holding period of the bond
22
Realized YieldPresent-Value Method
23
Calculating Future Bond Prices

• Where
• Pf estimated future price of the bond
• Ci annual coupon payment
• n number of years to maturity
• hp holding period of the bond in years
• i expected semiannual rate at the end of the
  holding period

24
Yield Adjustments for Tax-Exempt Bonds

• Where
• T amount and type of tax exemption

25
What Determines Interest Rates

• Inverse relationship with bond prices
• Forecasting interest rates
• Fundamental determinants of interest rates
• i RFR I RP
• where
• RFR real risk-free rate of interest
• I expected rate of inflation
• RP risk premium

26
What Determines Interest Rates

• Effect of economic factors
• real growth rate
• tightness or ease of capital market
• expected inflation
• or supply and demand of loanable funds
• Impact of bond characteristics
• credit quality
• term to maturity
• indenture provisions
• foreign bond risk including exchange rate risk
  and country risk

27
What Determines Interest Rates

• Term structure of interest rates
• Expectations hypothesis
• Liquidity preference hypothesis
• Segmented market hypothesis
• Trading implications of the term structure

28
Expectations Hypothesis

• Any long-term interest rate simply represents the
  geometric mean of current and future one-year
  interest rates expected to prevail over the
  maturity of the issue

29
Liquidity Preference Theory

• Long-term securities should provide higher
  returns than short-term obligations because
  investors are willing to sacrifice some yields to
  invest in short-maturity obligations to avoid the
  higher price volatility of long-maturity bonds

30
Segmented-Market Hypothesis

• Different institutional investors have different
  maturity needs that lead them to confine their
  security selections to specific maturity segments
  

31
Trading Implications of the Term Structure

• Information on maturities can help you formulate
  yield expectations by simply observing the shape
  of the yield curve

32
Yield Spreads

• Segments government bonds, agency bonds, and
  corporate bonds
• Sectors prime-grade municipal bonds versus
  good-grade municipal bonds, AA utilities versus
  BBB utilities
• Coupons or seasoning within a segment or sector
• Maturities within a given market segment or sector

33
Yield Spreads

• Magnitudes and direction of yield spreads can
  change over time

34
What Determines the Price Volatility for Bonds

• Bond price change is measured as the percentage
  change in the price of the bond

Where EPB the ending price of the bond BPB
the beginning price of the bond
35
What Determines the Price Volatility for Bonds

• Four Factors
• 1. Par value
• 2. Coupon
• 3. Years to maturity
• 4. Prevailing market interest rate

36
What Determines the Price Volatility for Bonds

• Five observed behaviors
• 1. Bond prices move inversely to bond yields
  (interest rates)
• 2. For a given change in yields, longer maturity
  bonds post larger price changes, thus bond price
  volatility is directly related to maturity
• 3. Price volatility increases at a diminishing
  rate as term to maturity increases
• 4. Price movements resulting from equal absolute
  increases or decreases in yield are not
  symmetrical
• 5. Higher coupon issues show smaller percentage
  price fluctuation for a given change in yield,
  thus bond price volatility is inversely related
  to coupon

37
What Determines the Price Volatility for Bonds

• The maturity effect
• The coupon effect
• The yield level effect
• Some trading strategies

38
The Duration Measure

• Since price volatility of a bond varies inversely
  with its coupon and directly with its term to
  maturity, it is necessary to determine the best
  combination of these two variables to achieve
  your objective
• A composite measure considering both coupon and
  maturity would be beneficial

39
The Duration Measure

• Developed by Frederick R. Macaulay, 1938
• Where
• t time period in which the coupon or
  principal payment occurs
• Ct interest or principal payment that occurs in
  period t
• i yield to maturity on the bond

40
Characteristics of Duration

• Duration of a bond with coupons is always less
  than its term to maturity because duration gives
  weight to these interim payments
• A zero-coupon bonds duration equals its maturity
• There is an inverse relation between duration and
  coupon
• There is a positive relation between term to
  maturity and duration, but duration increases at
  a decreasing rate with maturity
• There is an inverse relation between YTM and
  duration
• Sinking funds and call provisions can have a
  dramatic effect on a bonds duration

41
Modified Duration and Bond Price Volatility

• An adjusted measure of duration can be used to
  approximate the price volatility of a bond

Where m number of payments a year YTM
nominal YTM
42
Duration and Bond Price Volatility

• Bond price movements will vary proportionally
  with modified duration for small changes in
  yields
• An estimate of the percentage change in bond
  prices equals the change in yield time modified
  duration

Where ?P change in price for the bond P
beginning price for the bond Dmod the modified
duration of the bond ?i yield change in basis
points divided by 100
43
Trading Strategies Using Duration

• Longest-duration security provides the maximum
  price variation
• If you expect a decline in interest rates,
  increase the average duration of your bond
  portfolio to experience maximum price volatility
• If you expect an increase in interest rates,
  reduce the average duration to minimize your
  price decline
• Note that the duration of your portfolio is the
  market-value-weighted average of the duration of
  the individual bonds in the portfolio

45
Bond Convexity

• Equation 19.6 is a linear approximation of bond
  price change for small changes in market yields

46
Bond Convexity

• Modified duration is a linear approximation of
  bond price change for small changes in market
  yields
• Price changes are not linear, but a curvilinear
  (convex) function

47
Price-Yield Relationship for Bonds

• The graph of prices relative to yields is not a
  straight line, but a curvilinear relationship
• This can be applied to a single bond, a portfolio
  of bonds, or any stream of future cash flows
• The convex price-yield relationship will differ
  among bonds or other cash flow streams depending
  on the coupon and maturity
• The convexity of the price-yield relationship
  declines slower as the yield increases
• Modified duration is the percentage change in
  price for a nominal change in yield

48
Modified Duration

• For small changes this will give a good estimate,
  but this is a linear estimate on the tangent line

49
Determinants of Convexity

• The convexity is the measure of the curvature and
  is the second derivative of price with resect to
  yield (d2P/di2) divided by price
• Convexity is the percentage change in dP/di for a
  given change in yield

50
Determinants of Convexity

• Inverse relationship between coupon and convexity
• Direct relationship between maturity and
  convexity
• Inverse relationship between yield and convexity

51
Modified Duration-Convexity Effects

• Changes in a bonds price resulting from a change
  in yield are due to
• Bonds modified duration
• Bonds convexity
• Relative effect of these two factors depends on
  the characteristics of the bond (its convexity)
  and the size of the yield change
• Convexity is desirable

52
Duration and Convexity for Callable Bonds

• Issuer has option to call bond and pay off with
  proceeds from a new issue sold at a lower yield
• Embedded option
• Difference in duration to maturity and duration
  to first call
• Combination of a noncallable bond plus a call
  option that was sold to the issuer
• Any increase in value of the call option reduces
  the value of the callable bond

53
Option Adjusted Duration

• Based on the probability that the issuing firm
  will exercise its call option
• Duration of the non-callable bond
• Duration of the call option

54
Convexity of Callable Bonds

• Noncallable bond has positive convexity
• Callable bond has negative convexity

55
Limitations of Macaulay and Modified Duration

• Percentage change estimates using modified
  duration only are good for small-yield changes
• Difficult to determine the interest-rate
  sensitivity of a portfolio of bonds when there is
  a change in interest rates and the yield curve
  experiences a nonparallel shift
• Initial assumption that cash flows from the bond
  are not affected by yield changes

56
Effective Duration

• Measure of the interest rate sensitivity of an
  asset
• Use a pricing model to estimate the market prices
  surrounding a change in interest rates
• Effective Duration Effective Convexity

P- the estimated price after a downward shift
in interest rates P the estimated price after
a upward shift in interest rates P the
current price S the assumed shift in the term
structure
57
Effective Duration

• Effective duration greater than maturity
• Negative effective duration
• Empirical duration

58
Empirical Duration

• Actual percent change for an asset in response to
  a change in yield during a specified time period

59
Yield Spreads With Embedded Options

• Static Yield Spreads
• Consider the total term structure
• Option-Adjusted Spreads
• Consider changes in the term structure and
  alternative estimates of the volatility of
  interest rates
