†Concept of Macaulay duration: The Macaulay Duration is a measure of a bond’s sensitivity to interest rate changes. It is expressed in annual terms. It is the weighted average term to maturity of the cash flows from a bond. The weight of each cash flow is determined by dividing the present value of the cash flow by the price. Factors like a bond’s price, maturity, coupon, yield to maturity among others impact the calculation of Macaulay duration. The Macaulay duration can be viewed as the economic balance point of a group of cash flows. Another way to interpret the statistic is that it is the weighted average number of years an investor must maintain a position in the bond until the present value of the bond’s cash flows equals the amount paid for the bond. As it provides a way to estimate the effect of certain market changes on a bond’s price, the investor can choose an investment that will better meet his future cash needs.
