Abstract

The duration is also known as the Macaulay duration. It takes the cash flow occurring in the future time to fold the present value according to the current rate of return, and then multiplies each present value by the number of years from the time when the cash flow occurs, and then sums it up. The duration is calculated by dividing the sum by the discounted sum of the bond’s cash flows. In general, it is the weighted average of the time required for the bond’s cash flows to be paid. We calculated the sum of the duration of the bonds. For example, the first bond has a duration of four years and the second bond has a duration of 1.96 years. By calculating the duration, we can help investors better know when to receive the money receivable. And immunization is a strategy that helps to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuation. In this paper, we have studied the methods of calculating duration and how to use the knowledge of duration and the immunization strategy to hedge the risk.
