Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 2 Yield = IRR = Internal Rate of Return Yield
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 3 FRM-98, Question 12 A fixed rate bond, currently priced at 102.9, has one year remaining to maturity and is paying an 8% coupon. Assuming that the coupon is paid semiannually, what is the yield of the bond? A. 8% B. 7% C. 6% D. 5%
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 4 FRM-98, Question 12 y s = 5%
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 5 Annualizing Yield Effective annual yield = (1+periodic rate) m -1 examples Effective annual yield = =8.16% Effective annual yield = =8.24%
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 6 Bond selling atRelationship ParCoupon rate=current yield=YTM DiscountCoupon rate<current yield<YTM PremiumCoupon rate>current yield>YTM Yield to call uses the first call as cashflow. Yield of a portfolio is calculated with the total cashflow.
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 7 YTM and Reinvestment Risk YTM assumes that all coupon (and amortizing) payments will be invested at the same yield.

Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 10 IRR of a portfolio Aggregation of all cashflows and using the same formula.
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 11 Problems with yield Many equivalent ways to measure? Assumes reinvestment. Does not reflect risk. What if investment is very leveraged? Options, Forwards, Swaps

Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 13 Yield calculation y = 7.6%
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 14 Example 2 Cost: 101 Promised cashflow: After 1 year6 After 2 years7, callable at 100 After 3 years8 After 4 years9 After 5 years110
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 15 Yield to Call calculation y = 5.94%
Zvi WienerFabozzi Ch 3 slide 16 How to treat Floaters Floater is similar to a constantly renewed loan with fixed spread (!). Thus the yield of a floater is equal to the yield on the basis plus the spread. Note that some of the Israeli government bonds have funny linkage to other bonds.
