Explanation:
To calculate the portfolio price change for a 10 bp increase in yield:
Formula: ΔPortfolio Value = -Portfolio Modified Duration × Portfolio Value × Δy
Step 1: Calculate portfolio value-weighted modified duration
Total portfolio value = 4,000,000 + 2,000,000 + 3,000,000 + 1,000,000 = 10,000,000
Weighted duration = (4,000,000/10,000,000 × 7.5) + (2,000,000/10,000,000 × 1.6) + (3,000,000/10,000,000 × 6.0) + (1,000,000/10,000,000 × 1.3)
= (0.4 × 7.5) + (0.2 × 1.6) + (0.3 × 6.0) + (0.1 × 1.3)
= 3.0 + 0.32 + 1.8 + 0.13 = 5.25 years
Step 2: Calculate price change
Alternative calculation (bond by bond):
Therefore, the portfolio value decreases by USD -52,500.
