YTM

 If YTM = C (in %), then F= PV
 If YTM > C (in %), then F> PV
◦ Why?...
◦ Price below F => “discount” bond
 If YTM < C (%), then F< PV
◦ Why?...
◦ Price above F => “premium” bond

 Change in price due to changes
in interest rates
◦ Interest rates up, bond price down!
◦ Long-term bonds have more
interest rate risk than short-term
bonds
 More-distant cash flows are more adversely
affected by an increase in interest rates

 Yield to maturity is the rate implied by
the current bond price, i.e. solve the
PV formula of a bond for r.
 Finding the YTM requires trial and
error if you do not have a financial
calculator, and is similar to the
process for finding r with an annuity

 Sweden issued the 24th of August 2011 a 2-year
bond with a C rate of 0.875% and C paid annually.
The par value (F) is €100 and the bond was priced at
€99.897. What is the yield to maturity (i.e. r)?
◦ Using the formula:

C  1  F
PV  1  (1  r ) T   (1  r ) T
r  
 99.897 = $0.875[1 – 1/(1+r)2] / r+ $100 / (1+r)2
 r= 0.927% (just less than 1%)

The Term Structure of Interest Rates, Spot

 Consider two zero Coupon bonds.
 Bond A is a one-year bond and bond B is a
two-year bond. Both have F of €1,000.
 The one-year interest rate, r1 = 8%. The two-
year interest rate, r2 =10%.
 These two rates of interest are examples of
spot rates
 Given the spot rates r1=8% and r2 =10%, what
should a 5% Coupon, two-year bond cost?

Graph of
relationship is
called the Yield
Curve
 Term structure is the relationship
between time to maturity and yields, all
else equal
 It is important to recognize that we pull
out the effect of default risk, different C,
etc.
 Yield curve – graphical representation of
the term structure
◦ Normal – upward-sloping; long-term yields
are higher than short-term yields
◦ Inverted – downward-sloping; long-term
yields are lower than short-term yields

 The forward rate is the theoretically correct (or
implied) interest rate that the market expects, it
will exist in the future (for instance next year).
 Assuming that there are 2 periods and you can
save directly for either 2 years, or for 1 year
first and then for one more year. What is the
implied interest rate next year = f2?

Three Main Theories

Hypothesis Hypothesis
Hypothesis
 fn  Spot rate expected over year n

 Investors will set interest rates such


that the forward rate over the nth year
= to the one-year spot rate expected
over the nth year
 f2  Spot rate expected over year 2

 To induce investors to hold the riskier


two-year bonds, the market sets the
forward rate over the 2nd year to be
above the spot rate expected over the
2nd year.
• There are Clienteles in the Bond Market
• Pension Funds invest only in long term bonds
Clienteles
• Other institutions invest more in short term bonds

• There is very little overlap between investors in


Overlaps different bond terms

• The dynamics of short-term bonds are different to that


of long-term bonds
Outcome • Any term structure (upward, downward, humped) can
exist
