Topic: Duration gap



  
 Duration gap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The duration gap is the difference between the duration of assets and liabilities.
A positive duration gap is when the duration of assets exceeds the duration of liabilities (which means greater exposure to rising interest rates).
A negative duration gap is when the duration of assets is less than the duration of liabilities (which means greater exposure to declining interest rates).

Duration gap has become more prominent recently, primarily due to pressure from the bank regulatory agencies to more accurately measure the risk to the insurance fund in the event of the failure of the bank.
The second technique, the duration gap, focuses on the effects of interests rate changes on the market values of assets and liabilities, and hence on the theoretical duration value of equity.
If the duration of the bond were 6 years, the percentage change in price would be double that just calculated —(2) (2.83) or +5.66 for the decline in rates and — 5.66 for the decline.

 DELPHI DURATION article by Warren Edwardes, CEO, Delphi Risk Management
The interest rate gap is the principal amount by which a bank's assets that reprice in a particular time bucket exceed its liabilities that reprice in that same period.
Duration has its roots in actuarial science and is commonly used in fixed income asset management.
As with gap analysis and simulation, assets and liabilities are inserted into time buckets according to their next interest rate repricing date.

 MACRO HEDGING WITH DURATION
They develop a general expression for duration of non-default-free bonds and prove that, given the probability of default and other inputs included in pricing the bonds, their measure of duration is an immunizing measure in the presence of default risk.
Redington (1952) derives a second-order condition for immunizing equity in terms of the "dispersion" of values of assets and liabilities around their durations assuming that initial equity is zero.
In calculating duration gaps in all these examples, we assumed default-free assets and liabilities.

Another Application of Duration: The bank manager is ULTIMATELY concerned with interest rate changes and their impact on the market value of the bank's equity.
(Solution: Use a "standardized gap" which accounts for the differences in the relative rate changes of certain assets & liabilities.) Focus on NII is the most important measure of shareholder wealth.
How to Calculate Duration: The Spreadsheet Method The following example is used to calculate the duration of a 5-year $1000 bond, with a 6% coupon rate (with interest payments made annually (Not semiannually - as is the usual case).

 WSJ.com - Fannie Narrows Duration Gap, As Rate Volatility Risk Declines
Duration measures how sensitive bonds are to moves in interest rates.
Fannie Mae, a publicly traded government-sponsored enterprise, said its duration gap -- a measure of how well cash flows from assets and liabilities match up -- narrowed during October to negative six months from negative 10 months for September and negative 14 months for August.
"The tools Fannie Mae has at its disposal are numerous and effective, and the downtrade in Treasurys was very helpful to the gap," said Andy Brenner, head of global fixed income at Investec Ernst and Co. in New York.

 Fannie Mae Shows Off a Shrinking Duration Gap
Because of its implied government backing, Fannie Mae is able to borrow at advantageous rates, and generates the bulk of its profit from the spread between the yield on its $747 billion mortgage portfolio and the cost of its debt, or agency securities.
Janis Smith, a spokeswoman for the firm, said Fannie Mae reduced its duration gap through a combination of hedging activity, loan purchases, issuance of short-term securities and a buyback of longer-term debt.
Weak economic data are usually beneficial to Treasuries, because faster growth is associated with higher inflation, which erodes the value of future interest payments.

 Fannie Mae duration gap wider, portfolio shrinks
Fannie Mae's duration gap is a monthly gauge of how well the company is matching its investments and mortgage-backed securities it guarantees with the bonds it issues to buy mortgage assets.
While of mild concern, it is a far cry from having the duration of assets 25 years longer than the duration of liabilities in an inflatioanry period, as happened to the SandLs in the 70s.
The May duration reading, the widest since February, is within the company's target range of plus to minus six months.
