Interest Rate Sensitivities of Bond Risk Measures

Abstract

We present a simple expression for the sensitivity of duration, convexity, and higher-order bond risk measures to changes in term-structure shape parameters. Our analysis enables fixed-income portfolio managers to capture the combined effects of shifts in term-structure level, slope, and curvature on any specific bond risk measure. These results are particularly important in environments characterized by volatile interest rates. We provide simple numerical examples.
