Price Sensitivity and MaturityPrice Sensitivity and Maturity
In general, the longer the term to In general, the longer the term to maturity, the greater the sensitivity maturity, the greater the sensitivity to interest rate changes. to interest rate changes.
Example: Suppose the zero coupon Example: Suppose the zero coupon yield curve is flat at 12%. Bond A yield curve is flat at 12%. Bond A pays $1762.34 in five years. Bond B pays $1762.34 in five years. Bond B pays $3105.85 in ten years, and both pays $3105.85 in ten years, and both are currently priced at $1000.are currently priced at $1000.
• Bond A: P = $1000 = $1762.34/(1.12)Bond A: P = $1000 = $1762.34/(1.12)55 • Bond B: P = $1000 = $3105.84/(1.12)Bond B: P = $1000 = $3105.84/(1.12)1010
Now suppose the interest rate Now suppose the interest rate increases by 1%. increases by 1%. • Bond A: P = $1762.34/(1.13)Bond A: P = $1762.34/(1.13)55 = $956.53 = $956.53• Bond B: P = $3105.84/(1.13)Bond B: P = $3105.84/(1.13)10 10 = $914.94= $914.94
The longer maturity bond has the greater The longer maturity bond has the greater drop in price drop in price because the payment is because the payment is discounted a greater number of timesdiscounted a greater number of times..

differently to interest rate changes when differently to interest rate changes when the coupons differ. This is more readily the coupons differ. This is more readily understood by recognizing that coupon understood by recognizing that coupon bonds consist of a bundle of “zero-coupon” bonds consist of a bundle of “zero-coupon” bonds. With higher coupons, more of the bonds. With higher coupons, more of the bond’s value is generated by cash flows bond’s value is generated by cash flows which take place sooner in time. which take place sooner in time. Consequently, less sensitive to changes in Consequently, less sensitive to changes in R.R.

approximation of a non-linear approximation of a non-linear function. If there are large changes in function.
