π 00:00 β Welcome & Recap
Quick recap of Part 1 with a reminder to save 836094207 and WhatsApp βSAVE FOR JAIIBβ to get FREE PDFs.
π° 00:29 β Understanding Semiannual Bond Calculations
- Divide coupon rate by 2
- Multiply tenure by 2
- Divide required rate by 2
Use PV = Coupon Γ PVIFA + FV Γ PVIF
π 03:22 β Full Numerical: Present Value of Bond
Example: βΉ10,000 FV, 10% CR, 3 years, 8% return
Answer: βΉ10,524
Tip: If Coupon > Required Rate β Bond sells at Premium
π 06:08 β What is Current Yield?
Formula: Current Yield = (Annual Coupon / Market Price) Γ 100
Example: βΉ100 / βΉ850 = 11.76%
πΉ 08:57 β Total Rate of Return = Coupon + Capital Gain
Return = (Coupon + Capital Gain) / Purchase Price Γ 100
Example: (βΉ60 + βΉ20)/βΉ1020 = 7.84%
π 11:20 β What is YTM?
YTM is the discount rate at which the PV of all future cash flows equals the bondβs market price.
Solved using hit & trial + interpolation
π’ 15:29 β YTM Numerical (Hit & Trial Method)
Example: βΉ1,000 FV, βΉ850 CMP, βΉ80 Coupon, 9 years
Try 10% β βΉ884.72; 12% β βΉ787.26
YTM = 10% + [(884.72 β 850)/(884.72 β 787.26)] Γ 2 = 10.71%
π 20:43 β Bond Pricing Theorems
- ROR = Coupon β PV = FV
- ROR > Coupon β PV < FV (Discount)
- ROR < Coupon β PV > FV (Premium)
- Discount/Premium reduces as maturity nears
- Bond price β Inversely to interest rate
- Longer tenure = Greater sensitivity to rate changes
β Conclusion
Youβve just mastered some of the most important topics in the AFM syllabus β from YTM to bond valuation tricks.
