Portfolio Models for Fixed Income
4.1 Preview
In this chapter we develop the GAMS models for fixed-income portfolio optimization. The development is based on the discussion of Chapter PFO-4. The following models are discussed in this chapter and the GAMS source code for each is given in the associated FINLIB files:
Basics of fixed-income modeling implements simple GAMS models to perform standard financial calculations, and for bootstrapping a yield curve from bond prices.
• JDate.gms
• DiscreteFinCalc.gms
• ContinuousFinCalc.gms
• Bootstrap.gms
Dedication models are based on Section PFO-4.2. We give models for the standard portfolio dedication with borrowing and reinvestment decisions, and its extensions to maximize horizon return and to incorporate various practical considerations on the portfolio tradeability.
• Dedication.gms
• Horizon.gms
• DedicationMIP.gms
Immunization models are based on Sections PFO-4.3, PFO-4.4, and PFO-4.5. We give models for the factor immunization of portfolios of treasury bonds as well as corporate bonds. Data are given for the US, Italian, and Danish markets.
• Immunization.gms
• FactorImmunization.gms
• FactorYieldImmunization.gms
• CreditImmunization.gms
