  2. Duration (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duration_(finance)

    Macaulay duration is a time measure with units in years and really makes sense only for an instrument with fixed cash flows. For a standard bond, the Macaulay duration will be between 0 and the maturity of the bond. It is equal to the maturity if and only if the bond is a zero-coupon bond.

  3. Fixed-income attribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-income_attribution

    Ho defines a number of maturities on the yield curve as being the key rate durations, with typical values of 3 months, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years. At each point, we define a duration that measures interest-rate sensitivity to a movement at that point only, with the effect of the duration at other maturities decreasing linearly ...

  4. Recurring deposit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurring_deposit

    The formula to calculate the interest is given as under = (+) = (+) where I is the interest, n is time in months, r is the rate of interest per annum, and P is the monthly deposit. [ 4 ] The formula to calculate the maturity amount is as follows: Total sum deposited+Interest on it = P ( n ) + I {\displaystyle ={P(n)}+I} = P ∗ n [ 1 + ( n + 1 ...

  5. Day count convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_count_convention

    the number of complete years, counted back from the last day of the period; the remaining initial stub, calculated using the basic rule. As an example, a period from 1994-02-10 to 1997-06-30 is split as follows: 1994-06-30 to 1997-06-30 = 3 (whole years calculated backwards from the end) 1994-02-10 to 1994-06-30 = 140/365

  6. Yield curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_curve

    In finance, the yield curve is a graph which depicts how the yields on debt instruments – such as bonds – vary as a function of their years remaining to maturity. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Typically, the graph's horizontal or x-axis is a time line of months or years remaining to maturity, with the shortest maturity on the left and progressively longer ...

  7. Weighted-average life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted-Average_Life

    WAL should not be confused with the following distinct concepts: Bond duration Bond duration is the weighted-average time to receive the discounted present values of all the cash flows (including both principal and interest), while WAL is the weighted-average time to receive simply the principal payments (not including interest, and not discounting).

  8. Compound interest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interest

    It gives the interest on 100 lire, for rates from 1% to 8%, for up to 20 years. [3] The Summa de arithmetica of Luca Pacioli (1494) gives the Rule of 72, stating that to find the number of years for an investment at compound interest to double, one should divide the interest rate into 72.

  9. Time value of money - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money

    Time value of money problems involve the net value of cash flows at different points in time. In a typical case, the variables might be: a balance (the real or nominal value of a debt or a financial asset in terms of monetary units), a periodic rate of interest, the number of periods, and a series of cash flows. (In the case of a debt, cas
