Summary Introduction

Case synopsis:

Person MS and Person TS are discussing about the prospect of Company SS. The company seems to grow faster. However, the faster growth of the company is difficult to be financed by the company’s internal source. Thus, Person MS and Person TS have decided to go public and discuss their status with the Investment Bank CM.

The underwriter of the Company was Person RH who assisted in the previous offerings of the company. The investment bank assisted many companies for their initial public offering, thus Person MS and Person TS are confident about the investment bank. The underwriter states that the process is taken by the investment bank.

An insurance company has liabilities of £7 million due in 10 years' time and £9 million due in 17 years' time. The assets of the company consist of two zero-coupon bonds, one paying £X million in 7 years' time and the other paying £Y million in 20 years' time. The current interest rate is 6% per annum effective. Find the nominal value of X (i.e. the amount, IN MILLIONS, that bond X pays in 7 year's time) such that the first two conditions for Redington's theory of immunisation are satisfied. Express your answer to THREE DECIMAL PLACES.
An individual is investing in a market where spot rates and forward rates apply. In this market, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 for two years, he will receive £7.4 at time t=2 years. Alternatively, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 at time t=1 for either one year or two years, he will receive £7.5 or £7.3 at times t=2 and t=3, respectively. Calculate the price per £5,000 nominal that the individual should pay for a fixed-interest bond bearing annual interest of 6.6% and is redeemable after 3 years at 110%. State your answer at 2 decimal places.
The one-year forward rates of interest, f+, are given by: . fo = 5.06%, f₁ = 6.38%, and f2 = 5.73%. Calculate, to 4 decimal places (in percentages), the three-year par yield.
