Questiоn 2B (12 pоints) Yоu hаve recently been promoted to senior portfolio mаnаger for a bond mutual fund. A junior portfolio manager presents the following report during an investment committee meeting. "Our bond portfolio currently has a market value of $250 million and a duration of 6.5 years. This means we should expect the portfolio to mature in approximately 6.5 years. Because the duration is only 6.5, the portfolio is not very sensitive to changes in interest rates. If market interest rates increase by 100 basis points, the portfolio should gain approximately 6.5% in value. Likewise, if interest rates fall by 100 basis points, the portfolio should lose approximately 6.5%. Since we expect interest rates to decline over the next year, I recommend reducing the portfolio duration from 6.5 years to about 3 years because lower-duration portfolios benefit the most when interest rates fall. In addition, since duration completely measures interest-rate risk, we do not need to consider changes in the shape of the yield curve when managing the portfolio." As the senior portfolio manager, prepare a memorandum evaluating this recommendation. In your answer: Identify and explain at least six conceptual errors in the junior manager's discussion. Explain what portfolio duration actually measures. Estimate approximately how much the portfolio's value would change if market interest rates increase by 100 basis points and if they decrease by 100 basis points. Explain how duration should be used in managing a bond portfolio.
