Question 4: Bond Portfolio Management Pension funds pay lifetime annuities to recipients. If a firm remains in business indefi- nitely, the pension obligation will resemble a perpetuity. Suppose, therefore, that you are managing a pension fund with obligations to make perpetual payments. Your task is to immunize the value of your portfolio, using two bonds. The yield curve is flat at 9% and data on the coupons and maturities of the two bonds as well as the size of the obligation are given in Table 3. In this Table, bond maturities are expressed in years and the obligation is expressed in millions of EUR, paid yearly to beneficiaries.

The weights and market values (in million EUR) of the two bonds that fully immunize your portfolio. Note: The solution to this problem involves solving a linear equation with one unknown. Do not use Excel's solver to find the solution, because the solver does not do well with solving linear problems. The market value of the portfolio cash flows in the subsequent 15 years, stemming jointly from the two bonds coupon maturity yield 1 1.375 15-May-13 2 1.375 15-Nov-13 3 3.625 15-May-14 4 4.25
