The Yield Curve and Valuation 1 Yield Curve • The graphical depiction of the relationship between the yield on bonds of the same credit quality but different maturities is known as the yield curve. • The yield curve is an unsatisfactory measure of the relation between required yield and maturity since securities with the same maturity may actually carry different yields. 2 Shape of the Yield Curve 3 Shape of the Yield Curve (Continued) • Four shapes: normal or positively sloped yield curves, flat yield curves, inverted or negatively sloped yield curves, and humped yield curves. • Market participants pay attention to the difference between long-term Treasury yields and short-term Treasury yields. • The spreads between these yields for two maturities is referred to as the steepness or slope of the yield curve. • There is no industry-wide accepted definition of the maturity used for the long-end and the maturity used for the short-end of the yield curve. • 1). the 30-year yield vs. the 3-month yield, 2). the 30-year yield vs. the 2year yield. 4 Yield Curve Shifts • • • • A parallel shift in the yield curve vs. a nonparallel shift in the yield curve Parallel shifts: upward parallel shift and downward parallel shift. Nonparallel yield curve shifts: 1) twists and 2) Butterfly shifts Twists: 1) flattening of curve, 2) steepening of curve • Butterfly shifts: 1) A positive butterfly means that the yield curve becomes less humped. 利率上升時,短期與長期利率上升幅度大於中期上升幅度;反之, 利率下降時,短期與長期利率下降幅度小於中期下降幅度。 2) A negatively butterfly means the yield curve becomes more humped. 5 Spot Rate and Spot Rate Curve • The spot rate is the yield on a zero-coupon Treasury. • The spot rate curve is the graphical depiction of the relationship between the spot rate and maturity. • However, it is not possible to construct such a curve solely from observations of market activity on Treasury securities. • It is necessary to derive this curve from theoretical considerations as applied to the yields of the actually traded Treasury debt securities. • Such a curve is called a theoretical spot rate curve or term structure of interest rate. 6 Treasury Yield Curve and Treasury Spot Rate Curve • The on-the-run Treasury yield curve shows the relationship between the yield for on-the-run Treasury issues and maturity. • The term structure of interest rates is the relationship between the theoretical yield on zero-coupon Treasury securities and maturity. • An analysis of Treasury spot rates is critical because they are used to value fixed-income securities. • Also, they are benchmarks used to establish the minimum yields that investors want when investing in a non-Treasury security. 7 Principal Component of Analysis (PCA) of Yield Curve • Rober Litterman and Jose Scheinkmanm “Common Factors Affecting Bond Returns,” Journal of Fixed Income (June 1991), pp. 54-61. • Litterman and Scheinkman found that three factors explained historical returns for zero-coupon Treasury securities for all maturities. • • • • Factor 1: changes in the level of rates Factor 2: changes in the slope of the yield curve Factor 3: changes in the curvature of the yield curve They determined the importance of each factor by its coefficient of determination. • Explanatory power: about 90% for factor 1 and about 8.5% for factor 2. 8 Constructing the Theoretical Spot Rate Curve for Treasuries • The curve can be constructed from the yields on Treasury securities. 1. 2. 3. 4. Treasury coupon strips On-the-run Treasury issues On-the-the-run Treasury issues and selected off-the-run Treasury issues All Treasury coupon securities and bills 9 Treasury Coupon Strips • Use the observed yield on Treasury coupon strips to construct an actual spot rate curve. • 1. Three problems: The liquidity of the strips market is not as great as that of the Treasury coupon market. The tax treatment of strips is different from that of Treasury coupon securities. There are maturity sectors where non-U.S. investors find it advantageous to trade off yi8eld for tax advantages associated with a strip. 2. 3. 10 On-the-Run Treasury Issues • The on-the-run Treasury issues are the most recently auctioned issues of a given maturity. • In the U.S., these issues include the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month Treasury bills, and the 2-year, 5-year, 10-year Treasury notes. • Only those on-the-run coupon issues trading at par are used. • Reason: to eliminate the effect of the tax treatment for securities selling at a discount or premium. 11 On-the-Run Treasury Issues and Selected Off-the-Run Treasury Issues • One of the problems with using just the on-the-run issues is the large gap between maturities. • To mitigate this problem, selected off-the-run Treasury issues are included, and a linear interpolation method is used to fill in the gaps for the other maturities. • The bootstrapping method is then used to construct the theoretical spot rate curve. 12 All Treasury Coupon Securities and Bills • Using on on-the-run issues and a few off-the-run issues fails to recognize the information embodied in Treasury prices that are not included in the analysis. • Some argue that it is more appropriate to use all outstanding Treasury coupon securities and bills. • When all coupon securities and bills are used, statistical methodologies must be employed rather than bootstrapping. • Several statistical methodologies have been proposed, including quadratic spline and cubic spline by McCulloch(1971,1975), exponential splines by Vasicek and Fong(1982), Nelson-Siegel function by bNelson and Siegel(1987), and smoothing spline by Fisher, Nychka and Zervos(1995) etc.。 13 Expectations Theories of the Term Structure of Interest Rates • The three forms of the expectations theory (the pure expectations theory, the liquidity preference theory, and the preferred habitat theory) assume that the forward rates in current long-term bonds are closely related to the market’s expectations about future short-term rates. • The three forms of the expectations theory differ on whether or not other factors also affect forward rates, and how. • The pure expectations theory postulates that no systematic factors other than expected future short-term rates affect forward rates. 14 The Pure Expectation Theory There are several interpretations of the pure expectations theory: • Broadest Interpretation The broadest interpretation of the pure expectations theory suggest that investors expect the return for any investment horizon to be the same, regardless of the maturity strategy selected. • Local Expectations Local expectations suggest that the return will be the same over a shortterm investment horizon starting today. • Return-to-maturity Expectations Interpretation It suggests that the return that an investor will realize by rolling over shortterm bonds to some investment horizon will be the same as holding a zerocoupon bond with a maturity that is the same as that investment horizon. 15 Liquidity Preference Theory • This theory states that investors will hold longer-term maturities if they are offered a long-term rate higher than the average of expected future rates by a risk premium that is positively related to the term to maturity. • The forward rates should reflect both interest rate expectations and a “liquidity” premium and the premium should be higher for longer maturities. • Therefore, forward rates will not be an unbiased estimate of the market’s expectations of future interest rates • Thus, an upward-sloping yield curve may reflect expectations that future interest rates either (1) will rise, or (2) will be unchanged or even fall. 16 The Preferred Habitat Theory • The preferred habitat theory asserts that if there is an imbalance between the supply and demand for funds within a given maturity range, investors and borrowers will not be reluctant to shift their investing and financing activities out of their preferred maturity sector to take advantage of any imbalance. • This theory also adopts the view that the term structure reflects the expectation of the future path of interest rates as well as a risk premium. • The theory rejects the assertion that the risk premium must rise uniformly with maturity. 17 The Swap Curve • The swap rate is the rate at which fixed cash flows can be exchanged for floating cash flows. • In a LIBOR-based swap, the swap curve provides a yield curve for LIBOR. • The swap spread is primarily a gauge of the credit risk associated with a country’s banking sector. • Reasons for increased used of swap curve: 1) No government regulation, 2)The supply depends only on the number of counterparties. 3) Comparison across countries is meaningful. 4) There are more maturity points available to construct a swap curve. • Similarly, LIBOR spot rate curve can be derived from the swap curve, and the LIBOR forward rate curve can be further derived from the spot rate curve. 18 Valuation Approaches • Traditional approach To discount every cash flow of a fixed income security by the same discount rate. • The Arbitrage-free approach Any financial asset is viewed as a package of zero-coupon bonds. • Valuation models: binomial model and Monte Carlo simulation model. 19 General Principles of Valuation • The fair value is equal to the present value of its expected cash flows. • Step 1: Estimate the expected cash flows. • Step 2: Determine the appropriate interest rate or interest rates. • Step 3: Calculate the present value of the expected cash flows found in step 1 using the interest rate or interest rates determined in step 2. 20 Present Value • A lump sum payment PV Pn (1 r ) n PV Pn (1 r / m) nm • An ordinary annuity 1 (1 r ) n 1 1 1 PV

realizes interest as the difference between the maturity value and the purchase price. The equation is:. P M (1 r )n 24 Next Coupon Payment Due in Less than Six Months • When an investor purchases a bond whose next coupon payment is due in less than six months, the accepted method for computing the price of the bond is as follows: n C M + V t 1 (1 + r )V (1 + r )n1 t =1 (1 + r ) (1 + r ) P = where v = (days between settlement and next coupon) / (days in six-month period). 25 Price-Yield Relationship • 債券價格(p)與收益率(r)呈反向關係且為非線性 • 債券價格與收益率呈convex,且為positive convexity,不過這是 針對純債券而言,若為callable bonds則可能出現部分曲線呈 negative convexity的現象。 26 Relationship between Coupon Rate, Discount Rate, and Price Relative to Par Value • Coupon rate = ytm, therefore price = par value • Coupon rate < ytm, therefore price < par value (discount) • Coupon rate > ytm, therefore price > par value (premium) 27 債券價格變動因素 • 即使coupon rate維持不變,債券價格可能因下列因素而變動: 1. 發行人的信用評等改變引起必要報酬率改變 2. 市場因素使得必要報酬率改變 3. 時間流逝會產生pull-to-par的現象。 28 Change in a Bond’s Value Toward Maturity 1. Decreases over time if the bond is selling at a premium 2. Increases over time if the bond is selling at a discount 3. Is unchanged if the bond is selling at par value 29 Movement of Bonds Towards Maturity Years Premium bond Discount bond Par bond 20 119.63 80.36 100.00 18 118.74 81.26 100.00 16 117.70 82.30 100.00 14 116.49 83.51 100.00 12 115.07 84.93 100.00 10 113.42 86.58 100.00 8 111.49 88.51 100.00 6 109.25 90.75 100.00 4 106.62 93.38 100.00 2 103.57 96.43 100.00 0 100.00 100.00 100.00 30 Bond Equivalent Yield and Effective Yield Bond-equivalent yield: for a semiannual pay bond, doubling the periodic interest rate effective annual yield = (1 + periodic interest rate)^m – 1 31 當期收益率(current yield, cy) coupon cy price • 一簡單、方便的報酬指標 • 不考慮債券的資本損利、再投資利息以及到期期限的長短 等因素,因此有時會是一個失真的指標 • 當到期期限很長時,此時當期收益率趨近於到期收益率, 可以當期收益率替代到期收益率。 32 到期收益率(yield to maturity, ytm) T c M p0 t T ( 1 ytm ) ( 1 ytm ) t 1 c PVIFAytm,T M PVIFytm,T 1 (1 ytm) T or c ytm M T ( 1 ytm ) 33 ytm (continued) • • • • • 到期收益率又稱為殖利率 到期收益率是衡量持有至到期的報酬率 修正當期收益率的諸多缺點 一內部收益率(internal rate of return)的概念 假設,就是每一筆現金流量均以ytm進行再投資 (缺點) 34 Yield to Call • the yield to call can be expressed as follows: P= C C C C M* + + + . . . + + (1 + y) (1 + y )2 (1 + y )3 (1 + y )n* (1 + y )n* • where M* = call price (in dollars) and n* = number of periods until the assumed call date (number of years times 2) • It assumes that the coupon interest payments will be reinvested at the yield to call.. 35 Yield to Put • When an issue is putable, a yield to put is calculated. • The yield to put is the interest rate that makes the present value of the cash flows to the assumed put date plus the put price on that date as set forth in the put schedule equal to the bond’s price. • The formula is the same as for the yield to call, but M* is now defined as the put price and n* is the number of periods until the assumed put date. The procedure is the same as calculating yield to maturity and yield to call. 36 Yield to Worst • A practice in the industry is for an investor to calculate the yield to maturity, the yield to every possible call date, and the yield to every possible put date. • The minimum of all of these yields is called the yield to worst. 37 Cash Flow Yield • For amortizing securities, the cash flow each period consists of three components: (i) coupon interest, (ii) scheduled principal repayment, and (iii) prepayments. • For amortizing securities, market participants calculate a cash flow yield. • It is the interest rate that will make the present value of the projected cash flows equal to the market price. 38 Yield for a Portfolio • The yield for a portfolio of bonds is not simply the average or weighted average of the yield to maturity of the individual bond issues in the portfolio. • It is computed by determining the cash flows for the portfolio and determining the interest rate that will make the present value of the cash flows equal to the market value of the portfolio. 39 永續債券的評價、當期收益率與到期收益率 c c 1 p0 (1 ytm)t t ( 1 ytm ) ( 1 ytm ) t 1 t 0 c 1 c (1 ytm) 1 (1 ytm) (1 ytm) ytm 1 1 ytm c ytm c p0 ytm c ytm p0 因此永續債券的當期收益率等於當期收益率。 40 ytm for a zero-coupon bond 1/ n M y= P 1 41 Sources of Return • An investor who purchases a bond can expect to receive a dollar return from one or more of these sources: 1. the coupon interest payments made by the issuer 2. any capital gain (or capital loss) when the security matures, is called, or is sold 3. income from reinvestment of interim cash flows 42 Interest-on-Interest Dollar Return • The coupon interest plus interest on interest : (1 + r )n 1 C r • The total coupon interest: nC • The interest-on-interest: (1 + r )n 1 C nC r 43 An Example on Sources of Return Suppose that an investor purchases a bond with a coupon rate of 7% that matures in 8 years. The price and the yield to maturity for this bond are $94.17 and 8%, respectively. An investment of $94.17 will generate $176.38. (future value) Coupon interest = $3.5 * 16 = $56 Capital gain = $100 - $94.17 = $5.83 Interest-on-interest = $76.38 - $56 = $20.38 44 Yield to Maturity and Reinvestment Risk • The investor will realize the yield to maturity at the time of purchase only if the bond is held to maturity and the coupon payments can be reinvested at the computed yield to maturity. • The risk that the investor faces is that future reinvestment rates will be less than the yield to maturity at the time the bond is purchased. This risk is referred to as reinvestment risk. • The longer the maturity, the greater the reinvestment risk. • The longer the coupon rate, the greater the reinvestment risk. 45 Total Return • The total return is a measure of yield that incorporates an explicit assumption about the reinvestment rate. • Step 1: Compute the total coupon payments plus the interest on interest based on the assumed reinvestment rate. • Step 2: Determine the projected sale price at the end of the planned investment horizon. • Step 3: Sum the values computed in steps 1 and 2. • Step 4: To obtain the semiannual total return by [total future dollars/purchase price]^(1/h) -1 • Step 5: Double the interest rate found in step 4 and the resulting interest rate is the total return. 46 An Example on Total Return • Suppose that an investor has a six-year investment horizon. The investor is considering q 13-year 9% coupon bond selling at par. The investor’s expectations are as follows: • 1. The first four semiannual coupon payments can be reinvested from the time of receipt to the end of the investment horizon at a simple annual interest rate of 8%. • 2. The last eight semiannual coupon payments can be reinvested from the time of receipt to the end of the investment horizon at a 10% simple annual interest rate. • 3. The required yield to maturity on seven-year bonds at the end of the investment horizon will be 10.6%. 47 An Example on Total Return (Continued) • Step 1: The coupon interest plus interest on interest for the first four coupon payments is $191.09 (assume coupon payment $45). Reinvested at 4% until the end of the planned investment horizon will grow to $261.52. For the last eight coupon payments, the coupon interest plus interest on interest is $429.71. The total is $691.23. • Step 2: the projected sale price of the bond is $922.31. • Step 3: The total future dollars are $1,613.54. • Step 4: [$1,613.54/$1,000]^(1/12) - =4.07% • Step 5: 4.07% * 2 = 8.14% 48 Yield Changes • Absolute yield change (in basis points) = | initial yield – new yield| * 100 • Percentage yield change = 100 * ln (new yield / initial yield) 49
