Coupon rate and Yield The difference between coupon rate and yield arises because the market price of a security might be different from the face value of the security. Since coupon payments are calculated on the face value, the coupon rate is different from the implied yield.

Example 10% Aug year Govt Bond 10% Aug year Govt Bond Face Value RS.1000 Face Value RS.1000 Market Value Rs.1200 Market Value Rs.1200 In this case Coupon rate is 10% In this case Coupon rate is 10% Yield is 8.33% Yield is 8.33% 1000* * = 8.33% = 8.33%

Yield of Treasury Bill Y= (100-P)*365*100 Y= (100-P)*365* P*D P*D Y = Yield Y = Yield P= Price P= Price D =Days to maturity D =Days to maturity

Example 91 days treasury bills maturing on days treasury bills maturing on Purchased on Rate quoted is Rs per Rs100 Purchased on Rate quoted is Rs per Rs100 ( )*365*100= ( *55 days) = ( *55 days) = =5.70%

YIELD CURVE The relationship between time and yield on a homogenous risk class of securities is called the Yield Curve. The relationship represents the time value of money - showing that people would demand a positive rate of return on the money they are willing to part today for a payback into the future The relationship between time and yield on a homogenous risk class of securities is called the Yield Curve. The relationship represents the time value of money - showing that people would demand a positive rate of return on the money they are willing to part today for a payback into the future

SHAPE OF YIELD CURVE A yield curve can be positive, neutral or flat. A positive yield curve, which is most natural, is when the slope of the curve is positive, i.e. the yield at the longer end is higher than that at the shorter end of the time axis. This results, as people demand higher compensation for parting their money for a longer time into the future. A neutral yield curve is that which has a zero slope, i.e. is flat across time. T his occurs when people are willing to accept more or less the same returns across maturities. The negative yield curve (also called an inverted yield curve) is one of which the slope is negative, i.e. the long term yield is lower than the short term yield

Shape of Yield curve

VaR Value at Risk (VaR) is the most probable loss that we may incur in normal market conditions over a given period due to the volatility of a factor, exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices. The probability of loss is expressed as a percentage – VaR at 95% confidence level, implies a 5% probability of incurring the loss; at 99% confidence level the VaR implies 1% probability of the stated loss. The loss is generally stated in absolute amounts for a given transaction value (or value of a investment portfolio).

VaR A VaR of Rs. 100,000 at 99% confidence level for one week for a investment portfolio of Rs. 10,000,000 similarly means that the market value of the portfolio is most likely to drop by maximum Rs. 100,000 with 1% probability over one week.
