This article derives a new formula for the yield elasticity of bond price. The formula provides accurate results without resorting to complex mathematics, and gives new meaning to the concept of duration in fixed-income analysis

The model derives risky corporate bond prices (or equivalently credit spreads) subject to credit default and migration risk, based on an extended version of the Jarrow, Lando and Turnbull model, under a risk-neutral framework, as a result of the simulation of a continuous time, time-homogeneous...

In fixed income analysis it is known that the various measures of interest rate sensitivity (duration) yield approximate results. Even with the addition of concepts like convexity, the results remain approximations. This paper summarizes a new approach based on the fact that the time value of...

. This research assess if it is possible successfully use interest rates sensitivity arbitrage in bond portfolio (also known … as convexity arbitrage) in financial praxis. This arbitrage is sparsely described in literature and an assessment about … its practical success is missing. Research methodology - Methodology steps: mathematical definition of given arbitrage …

In this paper, we apply the principle of Equal Risk Contribution (ERC) to a corporate bond index, an asset class so far left behind in this literature. Specifically, we rely on the Duration Times Spread (DTS) and demonstrate that it is a coherent metric for bond risk. We construct indexes based...

The first three factors resulting from a principal components analysis of term structure data are in the literature typically interpreted as driving the level, slope and curvature of the term structure. Using slight generalisations of theorems from total positivity, we present sufficient...

In what follows we outline briefly the Credit Support Annex and how it impacts securities pricing. We then proceed to discuss synthetic forward rate calculation and the FX forward invariance relationship from which we show how to calculate CSA collateral adjusted discount factors using GBP...

SABR stochastic volatility model is appealing for modeling smile and skew of option prices. Hagan, who first proposed this model, derived a closed form approximation for european options and showed that it provides consistent and stable hedges. Here I prove a new exact closed formula for the...

Interest rate benchmarks are currently undergoing a major transition. The LIBOR benchmark is planned to be discontinued by the end of 2021 and 'replaced' by what ISDA calls an adjusted risk-free rate (RFR). ISDA has recently announced that the LIBOR 'replacement' will most likely be constructed...

In this paper, we define and model forward risk-free term rates, which appear in the payoff definition of derivatives, and possibly cash instruments, based on the new interest-rate benchmarks that will be replacing IBORs globally. We show that the classical interest rate modeling framework can...
