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
I needed serious help with my inventory management assignment but was not sure how to find on the net. Luckily, in fact, very luckily I came across this website where the expert took time to understand the requirement of the assignment and also assisted me with the overall assignment and many more supply chain assignments after that. I kept on recommending this website to all my friends.

My professor had mandated that the class had to use legal case studies from the Dunedin area to support our argument for the criminal law assignment essay topic. Since the research would take hours out of my already packed schedule I contacted HwA for help. They paired me with a law assignment expert who was herself practicing in Dunedin and what can I say, my assignment had some of the best case studies in the class.

The motivational strategy case study handed to me by my professor was a bit confusing one. I was not sure how to approach the issue wherein the workers were not dissatisfied with the salary but felt de-motivated due to the high attrition rate. Then I came across a really helpful HRM expert from HwA , who provided a wonderful solution. I got good grades in that assignment and since then I always take their help for my works.
Paula Rae Student
In my final year research paper wanted to do a study on consumer behavior but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The management assignment experts here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics.

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
