Bond Convexity to the rescue!
With $120,000 saved for a down payment and retirement, the Millers are anxious about the effect of rising interest rates on their bond holdings, specifically a portion allocated to corporate bonds. They fear a significant decline in the value of these bonds, potentially jeopardizing their financial goals and delaying their home purchase. They need a way to assess the risk and potentially adjust their strategy.
Using the Bond Convexity Calculator, we analyzed their existing corporate bond portfolio. The calculator revealed that due to the bond's convexity, the potential price decrease from a 1% interest rate hike would be $15,000 less severe than a linear estimation. This allowed us to adjust their strategy, adding a small position in shorter-duration bonds to mitigate risk further while still achieving their desired return profile.
The Bond Convexity Calculator was used to analyze the price sensitivity of the Millers' corporate bond portfolio to changes in interest rates. Inputs included the bond's coupon rate, yield to maturity, maturity date, and current price.
