Duration measures weighted average time to receive bond cash flows, approximating interest rate sensitivity: price change ≈ -duration × Δyield.

Stapsgewijze handleiding

  1. 1Input bond coupon, yield, maturity
  2. 2Calculate Macaulay duration (time-weighted)
  3. 3Derive modified duration (price sensitivity)

Uitgewerkte voorbeelden

Invoer
5% coupon, 10-year bond, 5% yield
Resultaat
Macaulay ≈ 8.2 years, modified ≈ 7.8 years
Modified used for price changes

Veelgemaakte fouten om te vermijden

  • Confusing Macaulay and modified duration
  • Forgetting duration changes with yield
