Bond Convexity and Duration | Convexity explained with example | FIN-Ed

In this video, we are going to discuss what the convexity of a bond is and how it affects the interest rate risk of a bond.

We know that duration is a key tool in bond portfolio management. Yet, the duration rule for the impact of interest rates on bond prices is only an approximation. One reason is that the duration assumes that the percentage price change is directly proportional to the change in bond‘s yield. In reality, the price-yield line is not straight, but convex. Hence, convexity refers to the curvature of the price-yield relationship of a bond.

Thanks for watching ...!!!

I don't understand why we don't calculate the new price (after the change in the YTM) directly? Actually, why we estimate the new price using convexity and then compare it with the actual price?

Just confusing formula with no understanding of what is beyond the formula. Don't waste time with this vdo.
