21. YIELD CURVE Yield curve is a graph that depicts the relationship between bond yields and maturities. Investors use the yield curve as a reference point for forecasting interest rates, pricing bonds and creating strategies for increasing total returns. Yield curve is a leading indicator of economic activity.

22. CONTENTS OF THE YIELD CURVE Yield on a bond is based on both the purchase price of the bond and the interest or coupon payments received. Yield curve is a line graph that plots the relationship between yields to maturity and time to maturity for bonds of the same asset class and credit quality. The plotted line begins with the spot interest rate, which is the rate for the shortest maturity, and extends out in time, typically to 30 years.

23. ZERO COUPON YIELD CURVE Maturity in years Source: “www.nseindi.com Source: http://www.nseindia.com/content/debt/debt_zcyc.htm, accessed on 15 December 2010.

24. IMPLICATIONS OF RATE OF INTEREST Yield curve depicts yield differences or yield spreads, that are due to differences in maturity. This relationship between yields and maturities is known as the term structure of interest rates. The normal shape or slope of the yield curve is upward, which means that bond yields usually rise as maturity extends.

25. THEORIES ON YIELD CURVE Pure Expectations Theory: The theory holds that the slope of the yield curve reflects only investors’ expectations for future short-term interest rates. Mostly investors expect interest rates to rise in the future, which accounts for the usual upward slope of the yield curve. Continued..

26. THEORIES ON YIELD CURVE Liquidity Preference Theory: Here long-term interest rates not only reflect investors’ assumptions about future interest rates but also include a premium for holding long-term bonds, called the term premium or the liquidity premium. This premium compensates investors for the added risk of having their money tied up for a longer period. Because of the term premium, long-term bond yields tend to be higher than short- term yields, and the yield curve slopes upward. Continued..

27. THEORIES ON YIELD CURVE Preferred Habitat Theory: In addition to interest rate expectations, investors have distinct investment horizons and require a meaningful premium to buy bonds with maturities outside their preferred maturity or habitat. Proponents of this theory believe that short-term investors are more prevalent in the fixed-income market and therefore, longer-term rates tend to be higher than short-term rates.

28. SHARP UPWARD YIELD CURVE A sharply upward sloping or steep yield curve, has often preceded an economic upturn. The assumption behind a steep yield curve is interest rates will begin to rise significantly in the future. Investors demand more yield as maturity extends if they expect rapid economic growth because of the associated risks of higher inflation and higher interest rates.

29. FLAT YIELD CURVE A flat yield curve signals an economic slowdown. The curve flattens when the interest rates rise to restrain a rapidly growing economy. Short-term yields rise to reflect the rate hikes, while long- term rates fall as expectations of moderate inflation prevails. A flat yield curve is unusual and indicates a transition to either an upward or downward slope.

30. INVERTED YIELD CURVE An inverted yield curve can signal recession. When yields on short-term bonds are higher than those on long-term bonds, it suggests that investors expect interest rates to decline in the future, usually in conjunction with a slowing economy and lower inflation.

31. YIELD CURVE

32. Future short-term interest rates will be higher. Investment managers will use this information by shifting their investments away from long-term securities and towards short-term securities.

33. YIELD CURVE Future short-term interest rates will be lower. Investment managers will use this information by shifting their investments away from short-term securities and towards long-term securities.

34. RIDING THE YIELD CURVE When the yield curve slopes upward, as a bond approaches maturity or “rolls down the yield curve”, it is valued at successively lower yields and higher prices. Using this strategy, a bond is held for a period of time as it appreciates in price and is sold before maturity to realize the gain. As long as the yield curve remains normal or in an upward slope, this strategy can continuously add to total return on a bond portfolio.

35. INVESTMENT MATURITY STRATEGIES Ladder or Spaced Maturity Policy Front end Load Maturity Policy Back end Load Maturity Policy Barbell Investment Portfolio Strategy Rate Expectations Strategy

36. LADDER OR SPACED MATURITY POLICY

37. Equal percentage of investments over short and long term maturing securities Difficulty in finding good credit rated securities in all maturity profiles Cost of building the investment policy is high

38. FRONT END LOAD MATURITY POLICY

39. All investments are made in short-term maturity securities Persistent revision of portfolio is required Policy will be successful only in liquid markets

40. BACK END LOAD MATURITY POLICY

41. All investments are long-term maturity securities Policy is subject to price and rate sensitiveness Inflation risk is also to be borne by this policy

42. BARBELL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

43. A balanced holing of short and long term maturity securities. A bond investment strategy in which the maturities of the securities included in the portfolio are concentrated at two extremes. Barbell strategy involves selecting only bonds with short and long term maturities. The maturity structure of the portfolio can be lengthened or shorted by varying the amount of securities on either end of the maturity range.

44. BARBELL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO STRATEGY Using this approach requires constant attention from the portfolio manager. Bonds with short maturities need to be rolled over into new short term securities as they reach maturity. As long term bonds reach middle maturity, they have to be rolled over into new long term securities. One disadvantage to a barbell strategy is its transaction costs. In addition, long term bonds are much more sensitive to interest rate changes. Therefore, the long term maturity side of the portfolio tends to have greater volatility than the short term maturity side.

45. ACTIVE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES Speculative strategies –Bond Swaps Rate Anticipation Swaps, Quality Swaps, Yield Pick-Up Swaps. –Yield Curve Strategies. Shift Strategies –Ladder Strategy –Bullet Strategy –Barbell Strategy

46. RATE EXPECTATIONS STRATERGY

47. RATE EXPECTATION Strategy of buying bonds with high or low durations based on the expectation of an upward or downward parallel shift in the yield curve. It is a type of yield curve shift strategy. Expected in interest rates - Buy Short duration Investments Expected in interest rates - Buy Long duration Investments

48. QUALITY SWAPS Strategy of buying investments with high or low quality rating based on the expectation of a change in economy. Expect Economic Recession – Buy High quality investments; Sell low quality investments Expect Economic Expansion – Buy low quality investments; Sell high quality investments

49. YIELD PICK UP SWAP Strategy of identifying investments which are identical but do not yield the same rates. The assumption is that the return on the investments will eventually converge. Among identical investments (same quality, same maturity) Buy the under priced security Sell the overpriced security

50. TYPES OF YIELD CURVE SHIFTS Parallel Shifts: Rates on all maturities change by the same number of basis points (or by the same percentage). Flattened Twisting: The difference in the yield to maturity of long term instruments to the yield to maturity of short term instruments are declining (YTM LT – YTM ST ). Steeped Twisting: The difference in the yield to maturity of long term instruments to the yield to maturity of short term instruments are increasing (YTM LT – YTM ST ).

51. TYPES OF YIELD CURVE SHIFTS Positive Humped Shift: Short term and long term rates change more than intermediate interest rates. Negative Humped Shift: Intermediate maturity interest rates change more than short term and long term rates of interest.

52. BULLET STRATEGY Portfolio of investments concentrated in one maturity area. All investments are heaped as a 5 year or a 3 year or any other specific maturity investment or around this short or long term maturity. Example: 40% of the investment portfolio would have 4.5 years as maturity, 35% would have a maturity of 5 years and the remaining 25% of the investment portfolio would be having a maturity of 5.5 years.

53. TOTAL RETURN ANALYSIS Total return analysis involves determining the possible returns from different yield curve strategies given different yield curve shifts.

54. CASE ANALYSIS Consider three bonds: –Investment A: 5-year, 8% bond selling at par. –Investment B:15-year,10% bond selling at par. –Investment C: 10-year, 9% bond selling at par. Two Possible Strategies: –Barbell: Invest 50% in A and 50% in B. –Bullet: 100% in Bond C.

55. YIELD CURVE SHIFTS Case 1 : Parallel Shifts –A rate change of 50 basis points Case 2: Flattened Twist –C increases by 25 points, A increases by 50 basis points and B increases by 10 basis points Case 3: Steep Twist –C increases by 25 points, A increases by 10 basis points and B increases by 50 basis points Case 4: Positive Hump –C increases by 25 basis points, A and B increases by 50 basis points Case 5: Negative Hump –A and B increases by 25 basis points, C increases by 50 basis points
