You have just been given 100,000,000 currency units which you are invest in order to service your fundAc€?cs liabilities. The present value of the liabilities is 100,000,000 currency units, and their duration is five years.
Select four bonds for your fund. Discuss the risks associated with each of the bonds, and what steps you would take to reduce or eliminate these risks.
Design a portfolio which would eliminate basis risk.
Now, assume you believe that interest rates will increase in the next five years, by more than the market consensus.
What difference does it make if your forecast of interest rates differs from the marketAc€?cs?
What steps would you take to take advantage of your forecast?
Note: Doing nothing with your forecast is also acceptable if you are very risk averse, but IAc€?cd still like to see how you would take advantage of your forecast if you were willing to do so.
