Introduction to Functions in Python

1

Time Value of Money

In this chapter, you’ll cover simple and compound interest, compounding frequencies, future value as well as commonly used financial functions in the NumPy-financial package.

Simple interest & compound interest

Calculating simple interest

Calculating compound interest

Future value & compounding frequencies

Calculating future value

Calculating compounding frequencies

More financial functions

Calculating the number of periods

Calculating the payment amount

Calculating the required interest rate

Solving real-world problems

2

Bond Prices & Yields

Let’s get fiscal. You’ll discover how to find the price of both zero-coupon and coupon-paying bonds, as well as examining the relationship between bond prices and bond yields.

Present value & zero coupon bonds

Calculating present value

Pricing zero coupon bonds

Coupon paying bonds

Impact of bond yields on price

Impact of coupons on price

Bond prices vs. bond yields

Discount vs. par vs. premium

Plotting bond prices against yields

Calculating bond yields

Comparing zero coupon bond yields

Comparing coupon bond yields

3

Duration

Now it’s time for you to explore interest rate risk via the concept of duration, the factors affecting duration, and how to use duration to predict the price changes of a bond or hedge bond portfolios.

Interest rate sensitivity of two bonds

Zero coupon and coupon bond duration

Factors affecting duration

The bond with the highest duration

Comparing the duration of two bonds directly

Using the steepness of the price/yield line

Plotting duration vs. the factor

Dollar duration & bond price prediction

Percent duration and dollar duration

Creating a duration neutral portfolio

Predicting price impacts from duration

4

Convexity

In the final chapter, you’ll be introduced to convexity. You’ll see how it helps address the weaknesses inherent in duration, examine the factors affecting convexity, and use both duration and convexity together to better predict bond prices.

Predicted vs. actual prices I

Predicted vs. actual prices II

Finding the convexity of a bond

Factors affecting convexity

The bond with the highest convexity

Comparing the convexity of two bonds directly

Using the curvature of the price/yield line

Plotting convexity vs. the factor

Dollar convexity and bond price prediction

Dollar convexity

Convexity adjustment

Combining duration and convexity
