问题如下:
After selecting a portfolio to immunize Cy’s multiple future outflows, Av prepares a report on how this immunization strategy would respond to various interest rate scenarios. The scenario analysis is presented in Exhibit 3.
Discuss the effectiveness of Av’s immunization strategy in terms of duration gaps.

解释:
Av’s strategy immunizes well for parallel shifts, with little deviation between the outflow portfolio and the immunizing portfolio in market value and BPV. Because the money durations are closely matched, the differences between the outflow portfolio and the immunizing portfolio in market value are small and the duration gaps (as shown by the difference in Δ Portfolio BPVs) between the outflow portfolio and the immunizing portfolio are small for both the upward and downward parallel shifts.
Av’s strategy does not immunize well for the non-parallel steepening and flattening twists (i.e., structural risks) shown in Exhibit 3. In those cases, the outflow portfolio and the immunizing portfolio market values deviate substantially and the duration gaps between the outflow portfolio and the immunizing portfolio are large.
在non -parallel情况下,duration也只有3和-3的差异,应该是比较小的(对比parallel情况下的变动)。而且本题要求是从duration的角度分析,那是不是都是well呢
