Immunization is a widely used tool in bond portfolio management, capable of hedging interest rate risk. Its goal, the construction of a portfolio whose value is not negatively affected by a change in the term structure, can contradict no-arbitrage condition. This paper investigates the existence and functional form of shocks that do not lead to arbitrage opportunities.

Abstract
Immunization is a widely used tool in bond portfolio management, capable of hedging interest rate risk. Its goal, the construction of a portfolio whose value is not negatively affected by a change in the term structure, can contradict no-arbitrage condition. This paper investigates the existence and functional form of shocks that do not lead to arbitrage opportunities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
