Duration and interest rate risk for uncertain cash flow streams

Article Abstract:

An extension of the Hicks-Macaulay-Samuelson duration analysis is made to allow for uncertainty in asset cash flows. The duration measure may have a density function that does not have central moments when the cash flows are functions of a Brownian moment. However, the revised version of the duration measure is shown to be normally distributed. It is applicable to probability assessments of the sensitivity of the current value of the cash flow stream of an asset to interest rate movements.
