Abstract

In this paper we will analyze the relationship between the value and duration moments of a cash flow and movements in the yield curve. We will show that for changes in the yield curve which can be related to tn, the 1st order changes in the net present value of a cash flow are linearly dependent on the n+ lth duration moments, and that the 2nd order changes are dependent on the sum of duration moments of order 2n+ 1 and 2n+ 2. We will use this relationship to tilt tracking portfolios so as to protect them against specific changes in the yield curve.
