  1. 1Input bond parameters: coupon, yield, maturity
  2. 2Calculate convexity
  3. 3Estimate price change accounting for both duration and convexity

Worked Examples

Инпут
Long-duration bond with high convexity
Резултат
Larger price gains in falling yields than losses in rising yields
Convexity positive for bullet bonds

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using duration alone for large yield changes
  • Neglecting option-adjusted analysis for callable bonds

Frequently Asked Questions

Can convexity be negative?

Yes, for callable bonds when rates fall and issuer likely calls.
