| rhardin | I know I should know this, but how do I calculate effective duration again? |
| bodduna | V- - V+/2vo*decimal yield |
| bodduna | Or Add all portfolio key rate durations of each maturity in the portfolio |
| ashish100 | Portfolio d duration = 30.7 (lowest) that's what I got at least |
| davidt87 | ashish i don't know how you got that. my understanding are that these are key rate durations for different points in the yield curve that must all add back to the asset's/portfolio's effective duration. so Portfolio D duration = 3 + 1 + 1 = 5 |
Your review questions and global ranking system were so helpful.
