The Term Structure
of Interest Rates
![Page 2: Chapter 12](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139e2550346895da19879/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The relationship between yield to maturity and maturity.
Yield curve - a graph of the yields on bonds relative to the number of years to maturity
Information on expected future short term rates can be implied from yield curve.
Three major theories are proposed to explain the observed yield curve.

Measure of rate of return that accounts for both current income and the price increase over the life
YTM is the discount rate that makes the present value of a bond’s payments equal to its price◦ Proxy for average return

Yields on different maturity bonds are not all equal◦ Need to consider each bond cash flow as a
stand-alone zero-coupon bond when valuing coupon bonds
◦ Example: 1-year maturity T-bond paying semiannual coupons can be split into a 6-month maturity zero and a 12-month zero. If each cash flow can be sold off as a separate security, the value of the whole bond should be the same as the value of its cash flows bought piece by piece.
![Page 8: Chapter 12](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139e2550346895da19879/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bond stripping and bond reconstitution offer opportunities for arbitrage
Law of one price, identical cash flow bundles must sell for identical prices
Value each stripped cash flow◦ discount by using the yield appropriate to its
particular maturity

If interest rates are certain Considering two strategies
◦ Buying the 2-year zero, YTM=6%, hold until maturity. Price=890
◦ Invest 890 in a 1-year zero, YTM=5%. Reinvest the proceeds in another 1-year bond
![Page 13: Chapter 12](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139e2550346895da19879/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Spot rate◦ The rate that prevails today for a time period
corresponding to the zero’s maturity Short rate
◦ For a given time interval (e.g. 1 year) refers to the interest rate for that interval available at different points in time
2-year spot rate is an average (geometric) of today’s short rate and next year’s short rate

An upward sloping yield curve is evidence that short-term rates are going to be higher next year
When next year’s short rate (r2=7.01%) is greater than this year’s short rate, the average of the two rates is higher than today’s rate

For 1-year maturity bond◦ Rate of return=(1000-952.38)/952.38=5%
For 2-year maturity bond◦ Price of today=890◦ One year later, when next year’s interest
rate=7.01%, sell it for 1000/1.0701=934.49◦ Rate of return=(934.49-890)/890=5%

What can we say when future interest rates are not known today
Suppose that today’s rate is 5% and the expected short rate for the following year is E(r2) = 6% then:
The rate of return on the 2-year bond is risky for if next year’s interest rate turns out to be above expectations, the price will lower and vice versa

Short-term-horizon investors◦ If invest only for 1 yearcertain return=(1000-952.38)/952.38=5%◦ If invest for 2-year zero, if expect the 1-year rate
be 6% at the end of the first year the price will be 1000/1.06=943.4 the first-year’s expected rate of return also is
5%=(943.4-898.47)/898.47 but the 2nd year’s rate is risky, 943.4 is not certain
If >6%, bond price<943.4 If <6%, bond price>943.4
2-year bond must offer an expected rate of return greater than riskless 5% return , sell at price lower than 898.47

If the investors will hold the bond when it falls to 881.83 ◦ Expected holding period return for the first year =(943.4-881.83)/881.83=7%◦ risk premium=7%-5%=2%◦ Forward rate:
Liquidity premium compensates short-term investors for the uncertainty about the price at which they will be able to sell their long-term bonds

Short-term Investors require a risk premium to hold a longer-term bond
This liquidity premium compensates short-term investors for the uncertainty about future prices
If most individuals are short-term investors, bonds must have prices that make f2 greater than E(r2)

Observed long-term rate is a function of today’s short-term rate and expected future short-term rates.
Forward rates that are calculated from the yield on long-term securities are market consensus expected future short-term rates.
◦ An upward-sloping yield curve if investors anticipate increases in interest rates
◦ Upward slope means that the market is expecting higher future short term rates
◦ Downward slope means that the market is expecting lower future short term rates

Short-term investors dominate the market
Forward rates contain a liquidity premium and are not equal to expected future short-term rates.
Investors will demand a premium for the risk associated with long-term bonds.
The yield curve has an upward bias built into the long-term rates because of the risk premium.

Short- and long-term bonds are traded in distinct markets.
Trading in the distinct segments determines the various rates.
Observed rates are not directly influenced by expectations.
