Bond Duration and the Price Value of a Basis Point (PVBP)
In this video, Lindsey covers the investment strategies in bonds and shows the risks and potential returns on these investments.
Overview
When interest rates rise, fixed-rate bond prices move lower and vice versa. The longer the rate on an investment is fixed, the more its price moves with changes in interest rates. For bonds, how much a price changes is driven by how long the investment is fixed for.
