When the required yield on the most newly issued comparable bond(s) (same maturity, risk,…) rises above the coupon rate of an old issued bond, the price of the old bond must adjusts so that the investor contemplating its purchase can realize some capital appreciation by holding the bond until maturity in order to compensate for a coupon rate which is lower than required. If not, nobody will want to buy the old issued bond(s) since they offer a below market yield. The

It is a powerful shortcut for practitioners to assess the impact of small changes in key variables on asset/portfolio values such as changes in yield for bonds (non-linear relation), changes in the underlying asset price for options (non-linear derivatives), changes the weights for portfolios (see incremental Value At Risk) …, with no need to recompute the new value of the underlying position given the new value of the risk factor.

The Lognormal Distribution: A random variable
X is said to have a lognormal distribution if its logarithm Y = ln X is normally distributed. The

Remark: The second order Taylor series expansion is one of the most fundamental tool in finance. It is a powerful shortcut for practitioners to assess the impact of small changes in key variables on asset/portfolio values such as changes in yield for bonds (non-linear relation), changes in the underlying asset price for options (non-linear derivatives), changes the weights for portfolios (see incremental Value At Risk) …, with no need to recompute the new value of the underlying position given the new value of the risk factor. It allows us to

The Lognormal Distribution: A random variable
X is said to have a lognormal distribution if its logarithm Y = ln X is normally distributed. The

X = eY
is distributed
