Drawbacks f Traditinal Yield Spread Analysis Glbal Editin Chapter 17 Analysis f Bnds with Embedded Optins Traditinal analysis calculating the difference f the yield t maturity (r yield t call) f the bnd in questin and a cmparable-maturity Treasury btained frm the Treasury yield curve. Fr example, cnsider tw 8.8% cupn 25-year bnds: I s s u e Treasury Crprate P r i c e $96.6133 87.0798 Yield t Maturity (%) 9.15 10.24 The yield spread fr these tw bnds= 10.24%-9.15%=109 bps The drawbacks are (1) the yield fr bth bnds fails t take int cnsideratin the term structure f interest rates, (2) in the case f callable and/r putable bnds, expected interest rate vlatility may alter the cash flw f a bnd. 2013 Pearsn Educatin Static Spread: An Alternative t Yield Spread In traditinal yield spread analysis, cmpares the yield t maturity f a bnd with that f a similar maturity n-the-run Treasury security. It makes little sense! The cash flws f the crprate bnd will nt be the same as that f the benchmark Treasury. The prper way t cmpare nn-treasury bnds: Cmpare with a prtfli f Treasury securities that have the same cash flw. The crprate bnd s value is equal t the PV f all the cash flws. Static Spread: Discunt the Cash flws with Zer Rates The crprate bnd s value, given the cash flws are riskless, will equal the PV f the replicating prtfli f Treasury securities. These cash flws are valued at the Treasury spt rates. See next slide (Exhibit 17-1) The price wuld be $96.6133. The crprate bnd s price is $87.0798 Investrs in fact require a yield premium fr the risk assciated with hlding a crprate bnd rather than a riskless package f Treasury securities. 2013 Pearsn Educatin 2013 Pearsn Educatin

The yield t call assumes that all cash flws can be reinvested at the cmputed yield until the assumed call date. The yield t call assumes that i. the investr will hld the bnd t the assumed call date ii. the issuer will call the bnd n that date. These underlying assumptins abut the yield t call are unrealistic because they d nt take int accunt hw an investr will reinvest the prceeds if the issue is called. Exhibit 17-4 (next slide) shws the price yield relatinship fr bth a nncallable bnd and callable bnd. The price yield relatinship fr an ptin-free bnd is cnvex. See the cnvex curve a a' The unusual shaped curve a b is the price yield relatinship fr the callable bnd. The reasn fr the unusual shape fr the callable bnd: When the prevailing market yield is higher than the cupn interest, it is unlikely that the issuer will call the bnd. If a callable bnd is unlikely t be called, it will have the same cnvex price yield relatinship as a nncallable bnd when yields are large enugh 2013 Pearsn Educatin 2013 Pearsn Educatin

Cnstructing the Binmial Interest- Rate Tree Cnstructing the Binmial Interest- Rate Tree (Cnstruct First Time Step) T cnstruct the tree, we use current n-the-run yields and assume a vlatility, σ. The rt rate fr the tree, r 0, is simply the current ne-year rate. In the first year there are tw pssible ne-year rates, the higher rate and the lwer rate. What we want t find is the tw future spt rates that will be cnsistent with the vlatility assumptin, the prcess that is assumed t generate the bserved market value f the bnd. The steps are described in Overheads 17-36, 17-37, and 17-38 and illustrated in Exhibits 17-10 10 and 17-11 11 (see Overheads 17-39 and 17-40). Step 1: Arbitrarily Pick a r 1 : the lwer ne-year future spt rate ne year frm nw, says 45% 4.5%. Step 2: Determine the higher ne-year future spt rate with: r 1 (e 2σ ). This value is reprted at nde.

If the value fund in step 4 is nt equal t the market value f the bnd, this means that the value r 1 is incnsistent with (1) the vlatility assumptin f 10%, (2) the bserved market value f the bnd. Find a different value fr r 1. and repeat the afrementined prcess. [Nte. If we get a value less than $100, then the value fr r 1 is t large.

Intrduce time-dependent nde spacing culd distrt the term structure f vlatility. The spread ver the Treasury curve that make the theretical price f an interest rate derivative equal t the market price. The reasn that the resulting spread is referred t as ptin-adjusted is because the cash flws f the security whse value we seek are adjusted t reflect the embedded ptin. 2013 Pearsn Educatin 2013 Pearsn Educatin Optin-Adjusted Spread (cntinued) Translating OAS t Theretical Value Fr a specified OAS, the valuatin mdel can determine the theretical value f the security that is cnsistent with that OAS. As with the theretical ti value, the OAS is affected by the assumed interest rate vlatility. The higher (lwer) the expected interest rate vlatility, the lwer (higher) the OAS. Determining the Optin Value in Spread Terms The ptin value in spread terms is determined as fllws: ptin value (in bps) = static spread OAS Effective Duratin and Cnvexity Apprpriate fr estimating the mdified d duratins fr bnds with embedded ptins In general, the duratin fr any bnd can be apprximated as fllws: duratin = P_ P+ ( )( ) 2 P 0 dy P_ = price if yield is decreased by x bps P+ = price if yield is increased by x bps P 0 = initial price (per $100 f par value) y (r dy) ) = change in rate used t calculate l price (x basis pints in decimal frm) 2013 Pearsn Educatin 2013 Pearsn Educatin
Effective Duratin and Cnvexity (cntinued) When the apprximate duratin frmula is applied t a bnd with an embedded ptin, the bnd prices at the higher and lwer yield levels are evaluated frm the valuatin mdel. Duratin calculated in this way is called effective duratin r ptin-adjusted duratin. The differences between mdified duratin and effective duratin are summarized in Exhibit 17-17 (next slide). The standard cnvexity measure may be inapprpriate fr a bnd with embedded ptins because it des nt cnsider the effect f a change in interest rates n the bnd s cash flw.
