A fixed-income portfolio manager sets a minimum acceptable rate of return on the bond portfolio at 4.4% per year over the next 5 years. The portfolio is currently worth $10 million. One year later interest rates are at 5.4%. What is the portfolio value trigger point at this time that would require the manager to immunize the portfolio?

Liquidity Premium Hypothesis Based on economists' forecasts and analysis, one-year Treasury bill rates and liquidity premiums for the next four years are expected to be as follows: R1 = 7.20% E(r2) 8.30% L2 .65% %3D E(r3) = 8.40% L3 = .75% E(r4) = 8.70% L4 = .80% Using the liquidity premium hypothesis, what is the current rate on a four-year Treasury security?

You manage a pension fund that will provide retired workers with lifetime annuities. You expect a large number of workers to retire in 8 years. You have the following two bonds to invest in and immunize this portfolio.               Inputs Bond A Bond B       Settlement date 01-01-2020 01-01-2020       Maturity date 01-01-2025 01-01-2040       Coupon rate 0.025 0.0000       Face Value $1,000.00  $1,000.00        Coupons per year  1 1                   Obligation         Time to Payout 8         Payout $50,000,000                     Initial Yield to Maturity           0.0750                       Required:           Using any necessary data above, calculate the Present value and Macaulay Duration of the obligation. Assume annual payments. Then calculate the Macaulay Duration and the Modified Duration for each bond. Use this information to immunize the portfolio. Then, re-immunize the portfolio 1 year later using the new yield.

Can you please walk me through this? Problem 6-11 DEFAULT RISK PREMIUM A company’s 5-year bonds are yielding 7.75% per year. Treasury bonds with the same maturity are yielding 5 2% per year, and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.3%. The average inflation premium is 2 5%; and the maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.1 x (t 1) %, where t = number of years to maturity. If the liquidity premium is 1%, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bonds?

Using duration and convexity approximation, compute the percentage price change on a 10-year fixed coupon bond, if the interest rate increases by 1%. The modified duration of the bond is 6 years, and convexity is 200 year2.   Group of answer choices   -6%   -5%   7%   -7%

A short question 4) You are managing a portfolio of $1 million. Your target duration is 10 years, and you can choose from two bonds: a zero-coupon bond with maturity of 5 years, and a perpetuity*, each currently yielding 5%. a. How much of each bond will you hold in your portfolio? b. How will these ratios change next year if target duration is now 9 years? *: Perpetuity: a specal case of annuity, where n-> Inf, thus the maturity of the instrument is perpetual.
