Fixed Incоme Risk Mаnаgement: Durаtiоn-Cоnvexity Approximation A pension fund manager oversees a portfolio containing a large position in a corporate bond. Following an upcoming Federal Reserve announcement, the manager wants to estimate the impact of a potential interest-rate change on the market value of the bond position. The manager has already estimated the bond's modified duration and convexity and would like to use a duration-convexity approximation to estimate the resulting dollar gain or loss. Input Value Market Value of Bond Position $[mv] Modified Duration [moddur] Convexity [conv] Change in Yield [dy]% Question: Using modified duration and convexity, estimate the dollar change in the value of the bond position.
