Risky coupon bonds as a portfolio of zero-coupon bonds
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper characterizes conditions under which a risky coupon bond is equivalent to a portfolio of risky zero-coupon bonds. This characterization is extended to enable the estimation of firm specific zero-coupon bond prices from risky coupon bond prices for the determination of firm specific credit risk curves. 2004 Elsevier Inc.

A comprehensive unified model of structural and reduced form type for defaultable fixed income bonds
The aim of this paper is to generalize the comprehensive structural model for defaultable fixed income bonds (considered in R. Agliardi, A comprehensive structural model for defaultable fixed-income bondsو Quant. Finance 11 (2011), no. 5, 749--762.) into a comprehensive unified model of structural and reduced form models. In our model the bond holders receive the deterministic co...
متن کاملA Theory of Bond Portfolios
We introduce a bond portfolio management theory based on foundations similar to that of stock portfolio management. A general continuous time zero coupon market is considered. The problem of optimal portfolios of zero coupon bonds is solved for general utility functions, under a condition of no-arbitrage in the zero coupon market. A mutual fund theorem is proved, in the case of deterministic vo...

متن کاملStripping Coupons with Linear Programming
When using market prices to t the parameters of models for the price of bonds, the rst step is to strip the market bonds of their coupons. The standard bootstrapping technique of stripping coupons can cause mispricing if there are no bonds that mature for some periods or if there are several bonds that mature at the same time. The authors suggest a new linear programming formulation to strip ou...
متن کاملRisk management of a bond portfolio using options
In this paper, we elaborate a formula for determining the optimal strike price for a bond put option, used to hedge a position in a bond. This strike price is optimal in the sense that it minimizes, for a given budget, either Value-at-Risk or Tail Value-at-Risk. Formulas are derived for both zero-coupon and coupon bonds, which can also be understood as a portfolio of bonds. These formulas are v...
