When immunizing portfoilio with cash inflows RATHER then the entire amount available at the beginning. Liability obligation in 2 years. Half the CFs available now to pay that off and half available in 1 year. Says we can use a duration of 3 for the first half of funds and a duration of 1 for the other half of fund available 1 year from now.
Therefor the weighted average of the portfolio duration matches the duratio of liabilities.
Is it just essentially (3 + 1)/2 = 2 And liability duration = 2
Couldn’t we have any combiation of stuff? Duration of 1 NOW and a duration of 3 one year from now —> and then then weighted average is still 2. Or am I missing somethihng?
Long study day. Might be just ridiculously tired. Any help is much appreciated.
