Optimizing bond portfolio amidst market volatility.
The Johnsons held a significant portion of their $2.1 million retirement portfolio in bonds. With interest rates projected to rise, they were concerned about the impact on their bond values and overall retirement savings. They needed a clear understanding of how their bonds would react to rate changes, particularly given their dual goals of funding college expenses in the near term and securing a comfortable retirement.
Using Golden Door Asset's Bond Convexity Calculator, we analyzed the convexity of their bond holdings. The calculator revealed that their portfolio was vulnerable to losses due to negative convexity. Based on the results, we recommended shifting a portion of their bond allocation to bonds with higher convexity, reducing potential losses from rising rates. This resulted in a projected savings of $18,000 over the next 3 years compared to their initial portfolio projection, considering anticipated rate hikes.
The Bond Convexity Calculator allowed for precise input of bond characteristics (yield, coupon rate, maturity) to determine the portfolio's convexity. The results were then used to model portfolio performance under various interest rate scenarios.
