This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of industrialized countries have recently offered inflation-indexed bonds. Some members of another group of countries that had earlier adopted more comprehensive indexation in response to high inflation have taken steps to reduce the scope of indexation in their economies. This paper surveys debt management, monetary policy, and welfare arguments on the use of inflation-indexed bonds, and relates these to the experiences of various issuers. The paper also considers some important design features of indexed bonds.

Download or read book Inflation Linked Bonds for Strategic Asset Allocation written by Kurtay Ogunc and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If one believes in a more sustained economic recovery in the near term than the more volatile one we have been witnessing over the past few years, and hence the inherent risk of accelerating inflation, Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) could provide inflation protection to institutional investors as a diversifier and a hedging instrument. In this paper, we show that TIPS offer excellent diversification benefits to different types of investors. Given the expectations for the economy in coming years, and the diversification benefits that TIPS offer, we recommend that institutional as well as individual investors allocate approximately 20 percent of portfolios to inflation-linked bonds. There are four apparent reasons for this recommendation: (1) low and sometimes negative correlations with major asset classes, (2) expectation for higher probabilities of inflation surprises, (3) robust risk/return profiles of TIPS, and (4) an inherent need to match liabilities that increase in value as inflation rises.
Download or read book Emerging Markets Inflation Linked Bonds written by Laurens Swinkels and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate the added value of inflation-linked bonds in an investment portfolio. Recently, several studies questioned the added value of inflation-linked bonds based on empirical analyses on developed markets. We extend the cross-section of countries with a set of nine emerging markets and conclude that for many of these countries the inclusion of inflation-linked bonds improves the risk-return characteristics of investment portfolios. We also document that inflation-linked bond returns correlate more with realized inflation than nominal bonds, even on the short run. Hence, investors that invest in nominal bonds and equities should also allocate a significant amount to inflation-linked bonds. Furthermore, our mean-variance spanning tests indicate that US investors that already invest in emerging markets nominal bonds and emerging markets equities benefit from adding emerging markets inflation-linked bonds to their investment portfolio.
Download or read book Information Contents of Inflation Indexed Bond Prices written by Yukinobu Kitamura and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1997, the U.S. Treasury started issuing Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS; hereafter TIPS and indexed bonds interchangeably) and, as of September 2002, a total of ten issues were being traded on the market, while one issue had already matured. The purpose of this paper is to attempt an evaluation of indexed bonds based on the record of five and a half years of market trading in TIPS, and to present the results as a reference for the issue of similar securities by the Japanese government in the future. The results of this paper are as follows: (1) Real interest rates are relatively stable and remain near the 4% mark. The 30 year bond is even more stable. (2) The expected inflation rate is more closely linked to realized CPI than to the real yield. However, the expected inflation rate is far more stable and its fluctuations smaller. In particular, the 30 year bond is steady, near the 2% mark. (3) While the economic information derived from the 10 year bond is strongly influenced by short-term economic fluctuations, the economic information derived from the 30 year bond is generally unresponsive to short-term economic fluctuations. (4) Examination of the derived information using econometric methods indicates that useful economic information was obtained from the following indexed bonds in the secondary markets: Series Three and Four 10 year bonds. Information included in the expected inflation rate was useful for the Series Three and Four 10 year bonds. Hence, while a total of eleven indexed bonds have been issued, very few of them have proven to be truly useful. These useful bonds turn out to have fair initial conditions, continuous arbitrages with the nominal bonds, and active trades in the secondary markets.
Download or read book Simulating Historical Inflation Linked Bond Returns written by Laurens Swinkels and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical research on the benefits of investing in inflation-linked bonds usually relies on a limited number of observations due to the relatively recent introduction of these assets. We estimate models for the break-even inflation rate and use these to create hypothetical inflation-linked bond returns. We compare these with the return on actual inflation-linked bond returns on a recent sample and find that surveys of professional forecasters and moving average models perform best. We confirm these findings for a sample of 19 international inflation-linked bond markets. Using surveys of professional forecasters, we create hypothetical inflation-linked bond return series for 41 countries starting in 1987 or later depending on the availability of nominal bond markets. These simulated series can be used by asset allocation researchers, but an average correlation of 0.7 means that the simulated series are at best reasonable proxies for real data on inflation-linked bond returns. This cautionary note is also relevant to appreciate existing research using simulated inflation-linked bond returns.
