      Trend Analysis and Regression

      Business & Finance, Quantitative Methods, Tools and Analysis

      2.5 hours ♦ Core

      Trend analysis can develop a sense of the volatility of a time series by looking at how the historical data varies around the trend line, although trend analysis provides no summary measure of volatility. Trend-fitting calculations are simple, and most spreadsheets automate the process of trend analysis. Regression analysis is a way to describe the relationship between two or more

      The use of quantitative data is at the heart of finance. There are several core evaluative techniques used to interpret quantitative data, so that financial decisions are based on a reasonable forecast of the future. Indeed, all financial decisions contain some implicit forecast. Every decision made by a banker or bank customer is made under conditions of uncertainty. Uncertainty arises

      Uncertain Cash Flow Combinations

      2.5 hours ♦ Core

      Measures of association are important because most risk analysis involves more than a single series of prices, rates, or cash flows, and financial managers must analyze the risk of combinations of securities. Association between assets affects the overall level of risk in the portfolio. Hedging, one of the primary means of reducing risk, depends on determining whether there is positive

      Duration and Convexity

      Business & Finance, Quantitative Methods, Tools and Analysis

      2.0 hours ♦ Core

      Interest rate risk is taken seriously by bond investors. Investors want to be able to compare the risk of holding different bonds, since bonds have varying sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Duration and convexity are tools that enable the portfolio manager and individual investor to identify the risk in specific bonds. This not only lets them choose the right

      In simple terms, duration or, more specifically, modified duration (which will be defined later) is a measurement of the price sensitivity of a financial instrument (more specifically, any series of cash flows) to changes in interest rates. That is, modified duration is a means to determine, with a high degree of accuracy, how much the present value (or price) of

      The calculation and interpretation of prices, yields, and volatility are critical to risk managers. The key calculations needed to pass the FRM exam are: time value of money (using both discrete and continuous compounding); bond prices and yields; annuities; duration and convexity; correlation; slope of a line (univariate regression); and joint probability and the binomial distribution.

      Credit derivatives pricing is based on the credit or risk spread over a floating rate benchmark (e.g., LIBOR or EURIBOR) at which a particular entity's debt will trade. This spread has historically been different for bonds and loans, but the development of the credit derivatives market has caused these spreads to narrow - a logical expectation, as both spreads reflect

      When choosing between investments with unequal cash flows generated over equal time periods, the most common calculations are net present value and internal rate of return. NPV is the sum of all the present values of the cash flows for a given investment. Internal rate of return is the discount rate that will produce a net present value of zero

      The frequency of compounding is one of the key differences between quoting conventions in different markets. Annual returns are expressed as an annual nominal interest rate, also called the quoted interest rate, which is the annual rate before compounding. A periodic rate is the nominal rate divided into periods: daily, monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually. If quoted instruments do not have

      Calculating the yields on different financial instruments is an essential skill for every banker. A debt instrument is priced by using its yield to maturity to discount its cash flows, and each type of instrument contains different cash flow structures. Several yield calculations apply to long-term, interest-bearing instruments, including the coupon rate, current yield, yield-to-maturity, bond equivalent yield, and ISMA

      Option-adjusted spread (OAS) methodology addresses a major difficulty in valuing bonds with embedded options: the fact that the bond's cash flows change when the options are exercised. By explicitly incorporating an estimate of interest rate volatility into the bond's value, OAS methodology produces better valuations and more informed decisions by fund managers, traders, and issuers.
