Includes bibliographical references (leaves 35-36). Due to the 2008 financial crisis, investors have become more risk averse in investing in equities and have increased their holdings in bonds as they are believed to be less risky. However, South African interest rates have been volatile over the past decade due to changes in the inflation rate. This has caused the returns of bond portfolios to be uncertain since bond prices are inversely related to interest rates. It is thus imperative to manage the interest rate risk inherent in bond portfolios so that institutional investors can achieve their mandates and targeted returns. 2015-01-05T18:46:33Z 2015-01-05T18:46:33Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11468 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town
