Consider investment in three STRIPS (M=100), the first STRIPS matures in six months, the second STRIPS matures in 12 months, the third STRIPS matures in 18 months. The price of the first STRIPS is 98:12 (so 1 = 1.6518%), the price of the second STRIPS is 96:20 (so 2 = 1.7315%), and the price of the third STRIPS is 94:26 (3 = 1.7915%). Based on the spot rates above, calculate the implied forward rates 1 1 and 2 1 . Assume the unbiased Expectations Theory holds, so (1 ) = 1 1 and (2 ) = 1 2 . Also, assume that realized future spot rates match the expectations: 1 = 1 1 and 2 = 1 2 . Calculate the oneperiod realized rates of return on the three STRIPS (i.e., buy the bond today and sell it six months later).
