How does the price change under parallel shift of the yield curve, yi 7→ yi + s?
The duration of the bond is defined as relative first-order sensitivity with respect
to a parallel shift of the yield curve:
n
! Pn
1 d X −(yi +s)Ti Ti ci e −yi Ti
D=− ci e |s=0 = i=1 .
p ds i=1 p
Its duration is
P10
i=1 i × 6 × e −0.03×i + 10 × 100 × e −0.03×10
D10 = = 8.06
p
Its duration is
P5
i=1 i × 3 × e −0.03×i + 5 × 100 × e −0.03×5
D5 = = 4.72

Aim: immunize the value of a bond portfolio with respect to small parallel shifts
of the yield curve!
• Π(s) value a portfolio to be hedged as function of yield shift s
• H(s) value of the hedging instrument as function of s
Find q such that
d
(Π(s) + q H(s)) |s=0 = 0.
ds
The solution is given by
−DΠ × Π(0)
q=
DH × H(0)
where DΠ = duration of Π, DH = duration of H.

Value change (Π(s) − 2.14 H(s)) − (Π(0) − 2.14 H(0)) of immunized portfolio as
function of yield shift s.

Obtain second-order approximation for relative bond price change p

Aim: immunize the value of a bond portfolio with respect to small and not so
small parallel shifts of the yield curve!
• Π(s) value a portfolio to be hedged as function of yield shift s
• H1 (s) value of 1st hedging instrument as function of s
• H2 (s) value of 2nd hedging instrument as function of s
Find q1 and q2 such that
d
(Π(s) + q1 H1 (s) + q2 H2 (s)) |s=0 = 0
ds
d2
(Π(s) + q1 H1 (s) + q2 H2 (s)) |s=0 = 0
ds 2
The solution is
−1
q1 −DH1 H1 (0) −DH2 H2 (0) DΠ Π(0)
=
q2 CH1 H1 (0) CH2 H2 (0) −CΠ Π(0)
In order to hedge Π against parallel shifts of the yield curve you should buy 140.3
units of H2 and sell 304.8 units of H1 short.
