31. A new client allocates $100 million to your investment management firm. The client wants you to create a long-term fixed income portfolio and agrees to bonds with a 20-year average term. To simplify, assume all the bonds are identical with 20-year terms, coupon rates of 5.75%[paid semi-annually], AA credit ratings, and exactly 6 months to the next coupon date.

Answer:
40. Knowing that $100 million was initially invested in the portfolio, what was the total return, which includes both income and capital gain or loss and is expressed as a percentage, on the portfolio during the first year? If a loss, use a negative number and round to 1 basis point. This answer will NOT be the same as Part 1.
