Assignment

A. View on Interest rates
Read up on the outlook for Australian Interest Rates 1-2 years ahead. Useful sources are the RBA,
Treasury and the big retail banks, among others. Write a small paragraph explaining the outlook for
interest rates and the factors influencing the outlook. Outline what is your view on future interest rates.
Your view on future interest rate movements will inform the decision you will make for your bond
portfolio.
B. Bond Portfolio Construction
You are working for a bond portfolio manager. Your portfolio consists of the following Australian
Commonwealth Government Securities (CGS):

 10yr semi-annual coupon paying bond with a coupon rate of 3% p.a and a YTM of 3.14%.
(Hold 3 of these bonds)

 5yr semi-annual coupon paying bond with a coupon rate of 2.5% p.a and a YTM of 2.93%.
(Hold 5 of these bonds)

 3yr semi-annual coupon paying bond with a coupon rate of 2.0% p.a and a YTM of 2.73%.
(Hold 3 of these bonds)
Each of the three types of bonds have a face value of $100,000
Compute the duration and convexity of each bond.
Compute the actual and approximated (using duration and duration+convexity) value of each bond
assuming a parallel shift upwards and downwards of the yield curve of 50 b.p.
Compute the duration of your bond portfolio.
C. Bond Portfolio Management Problem
Given your view on interest rates, would you increase or decrease the duration of your portfolio? What
would be your target duration?
You have limits of the duration of your portfolio. The duration of your bond portfolio must be
between 3 and 7 years.
Once you have identified your target duration, outline how it would be possible to get close to it by
trading (buying or selling) some of the bonds of your portfolio or by trading CGS Bond futures.
Provide an explanation of both strategies.
The features of the futures contracts are as follows (expiration: June 2022):
10 year contract: $100,000 Face Value, 6%p.a. semi-annual coupon and quoted YTM of 3.15%p.a.
5 year contract: $100,000 Face Value, 2%p.a. semi-annual coupon and quoted YTM of 3.03%p.a.
3 year contract: $100,000 Face Value, 6%p.a. semi-annual coupon and quoted YTM of 2.89%p.a.

Outline a strategy using one or more of these contracts to achieve the desired duration position for
your portfolio. You will need to find an approximate dollar value of exposure you need to buy or sell
in the futures to achieve your desired duration.
Describe the characteristics and potential risks you face from both strategies.

Write a report
Produce a written report of these human manipulations of genetic transfer and their
biological implications. In your report:
outline the biological ideas to explain how humans manipulate genetic transfer in selective breeding and mammal cloning
explain the biological implications of each manipulation, such as the impact on:

*ecosystems
*genetic biodiversity
*health or survival of individuals
*survival of populations
*evolution of populations.
link the biological ideas about each manipulation to at least two biological implications of each of selective breeding and mammal cloning for your case studies. The linking of ideas could involve comparing and contrasting aspects of the manipulations. Support your researched information with diagrams or models to illustrate concepts or other visual representations as appropriate. If you use an image it must either be created by yourself or referred to in your report. Images inserted into reports that are not your own will not be awarded marks.
