PURE DISCOUNT BONDS (ZEROCOUPON BONDS) A zero rate (or spot rate), for maturity T is the rate of interest earned on an investment that provides a payoff only at time T Discount bonds, also called zero-coupon bonds, are securities which “make a single payment at a date in the future known as maturity date. The size of this payment is the face value of the bond. The length of time to the maturity date is the maturity of the bond” (Campbell, Lo, Mac. Kinley (1996)). BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 23
PURE DISCOUNT BOND The promised cash payment on a pure discount bond is called its face value or par value. Yield (interest rate) on a pure discount bond is the annualized rate of return to investors who buy it and hold it until it matures. BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 24
EXAMPLE BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 25
BOND PRICING To calculate the cash price of a bond we discount each cash flow at the appropriate zero rate The theoretical price of a two-year bond providing a 6% coupon semiannually is BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 26
BOND YIELD The bond yield is the discount rate that makes the present value of the cash flows on the bond equal to the market price of the bond Suppose that the market price of the bond in our example equals its theoretical price of 98. 39 The bond yield is given by solving to get y = 0. 0676 or 6. 76%. BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 27
PAR YIELD The par yield for a certain maturity is the coupon rate that causes the bond price to equal its face value. In our example we solve BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 28
PAR YIELD (CONTINUED) In general if m is the number of coupon payments per year, d is the present value of $1 received at maturity and A is the present value of an annuity of $1 on each coupon date BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 29
BOOTSTRAP METHOD TO CALCULATE DISCOUNT FACTOR A discount function is a set of discount factors, where each discount factor is just a present value multiplier. For example, d(1. 0) is the present value of $1 dollar received in one year. The key idea is that each d(x) can be solved as one variable under one equation because we already solved for shorter-term discount factors. The most popular approach is to use bootstrap method BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 30

YIELD CURVE UNDER CERTAINTY An upward sloping yield curve is evidence that short-term rates are going to be higher next year When next year’s short rate is greater than this year’s short rate, the average of the two rates is higher than today’s rate BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 59

INTEREST RATE UNCERTAINTY 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(r 2) = 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 BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 66
INTEREST RATE UNCERTAINTY CONTINUED Investors require a risk premium to hold a longer-term bond This liquidity premium compensates shortterm investors for the uncertainty about future prices BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 67
TERM STRUCTURE OF INTEREST RATES The term structure of interest rates (or yield curve) is the relationship of the yield to maturity against bond term (maturity). Typical shapes are: increasing (normal), decreasing, humped and flat. Yield Maturity BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 68
UPWARD VS DOWNWARD SLOPING YIELD CURVE For an upward sloping yield curve: Fwd Rate > Zero Rate > Par Yield For a downward sloping yield curve Par Yield > Zero Rate > Fwd Rate BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 69
THEORIES OF THE TERM STRUCTURE A number of theory have been proposed: Expectation Hypothesis, Liquidity Preference Theory, Preferred Habitats Theory, Segmentation Hypothesis. Fabozzi (1998): Pure Expectation Hypothesis, Liquidity Preference Theory, Preferred Habitats Theory are different forms of the expectation theory ==> two major theories: expectation theory and market segmentation theory. BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 70
THEORIES OF THE TERM STRUCTURE OF INTEREST RATES (1) The Pure Expectation Hypothesis: Implied forward rates are unbiased expectations of future spot rates ==> a rising term structure indicate that market expects short-term rates to rise in the future; a flat term structure reflects expectations that the future short term structure will be constant; and so on; Hicks (1937). Problems: It neglects the risks inherent in investing in bonds: if forward rates were perfect predictors of future interest rates then the future prices of bonds will be known with certainty. The Liquidity Preference Theory (Keynes): Given that there is uncertainty, long bonds should have higher returns than short bonds ==> we should expect a risk premium arising out from investors liquidity preferences. It is consistent with the empirical results that yield curves are upward sloping ==> positive risk premium. BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 71
THEORIES OF THE TERM STRUCTURE OF INTEREST RATES (2) The Preferred Habitat Theory: It adopts the view that the term structure is composed by two components: Expectations plus risk premium (= liquidity preference theory). However, the risk premium might be negative as well as positive to induce market participants to shift out of their preferred habitat (Modigliani & Sutch (1966)). The Segmentation Hypothesis (Culbertson (1957)): It also recognises that investors have preferred habitat (= preferred habitat theory) ==> individuals have strong maturity preferences ==> there need be no relationship between bonds with different maturities ==> bonds with different maturities are traded in different markets. BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 72
EXPECTATIONS THEORY Observed long-term rate is a function of today’s short-term rate and expected future short-term rates Long-term and short-term securities are perfect substitutes Forward rates that are calculated from the yield on long-term securities are market consensus expected future short-term rates BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 73
LIQUIDITY PREMIUM THEORY Long-term bonds are more risky 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 Forward rates contain a liquidity premium and are not equal to expected future shortterm rates BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 74

INTERPRETING THE TERM STRUCTURE If the yield curve is to rise as one moves to longer maturities A longer maturity results in the inclusion of a new forward rate that is higher than the average of the previously observed rates Reason: Higher expectations forward rates or Liquidity premium BAHATTIN BUYUKSAHIN, DERIVATIVES PRICING 77
