Your research department reports continuously compounded interest rates as Maturity (Years) Interest Rate (%) 0.5 1.00 1.0 1.50 1.5 2.00 2.0 2.00 (c) Suppose that the monthly changes in the interest rates have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 0.5%. Obtain the monthly 95% Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall on the coupon bond. (d) Construct a hedge portfolio of 1 coupon bond and k one-year zero coupon bonds that has zero duration. What is the value of k? What is the convexity of the hedge portfolio? (e) Construct a hedge portfolio of 1 coupon bond, and k1 one-year zero coupon bonds and k2 two-year zero coupon bonds, that has zero duration and convexity. What are the values of k and k2? (f) Suppose that the yield curve shifts upward parallelly with dr = 1%. Recalculate Pc(0,2), P2(0,1) and P2(0,2) and use this to calculate the change in the values of the hedge portfolios constructed in (d) and (e). Comment on the result.
