Hedging a Bond Portfolio with T-Bond futures
Question
A portfolio manager uses a T-bond futures contract to hedge a bond portfolio over the next 4 months. The portfolio is worth $75 million and will have duration of 5 years in four months. The futures price is 118 and each contract is for $200,000. There are three bonds that can be delivered with durations 7, 8 and 9 years but it is unclear which will be the cheapest to deliver.
1. If you expect interest rates to rise over the next 4 months, which duration bond will likely be the cheapest to deliver?
2. What maturity T-bond futures contract should be used to hedge the bond portfolio?
3. What position of futures contrasts is required?
4. What adjustment is necessary in one month if you are wrong in your initial assessment that rates would rise; instead you now expect rates to fall?
5. How will your adjusted position effect the performance of the hedge if long term rates fall more than short term rates
Summary
The question belongs to Finance and it is about Swaps. The question here is about T-bond futures being hedged for 4 months with futures prices being given. Given such a situation, questions such as determining the cheapest bond, the maturity T-bond to be used for hedging, the position of futures contrasts and the adjustments necessary for better positioning the hedge, etc have been given in the solution.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The management case study was based on a factory in Napier, which I am sure no US based or UK based assignment experts could have solved. I searched online for management assignment experts from New Zealand but was not being able to narrow down on one. Luckily, then I bumped into TheReliableTutor and found out that the management assignment experts are actually from New Zealand. The case study went well and so did the other management assignment solutions, for which I took help from them again.

I had to choose my own research topic for my final year dissertation during my post graduate management course and I was really confused. I was not sure from where I can get a standard response matching the requirements of my New Zealand based university. I must admit that I was lucky to come across HwA as they have experts located in New Zealand who helped me with the assignment and more importantly helped me achieve grades, beyond expectation.
Fiona Nash Student
During my MBAs, Economics was never my strength. I often took help from HwA and they helped me get good grades. But eventually, as I was reading through a demand-supply analysis economics solution provided by them, I started to gain some interest. I chatted with the econ tutor of HwA for an hour and believe it or not, I fell in love with the subject.
Brandon Taylor Student
I certainly needed help with my medical science dissertation and there was so much that needed to be done. So when I looked for help online, I landed in this page and from there onwards it had been a marvellous journey to be honest. They helped me choose a very decent topic, they helped with the research proposal, and they helped me the entire paper and finally helped me to get the desired grades.

I needed help writing the solution to the assignment on how to derive the equilibrium constant expression for a protein crosslinking reaction using mass spectrometry. But i just did not know where to get the relevant solution material. Thanks to the chemical equilibrium assignment expert at HwA I was able to write the assignment with all the relevant research work and also get the accurate solution.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
