نبذة مختصرة : This thesis is dedicated to interest rate risk immunization. Several widely known immunization strategies, like the naïve and duration-matching bullet and barbell, will be implemented and tested empirically. Furthermore, the M-Absolute, M-Squared and M-Vector strategies will also be implemented and tested empirically in order to evaluate if their additional complexity adds any value to the immunization process, while bearing in mind that these strategies immunize portfolios against both non-parallel and parallel shocks in the term structure of interest rates. A common methodology will be applied to different bond datasets in order to infer what is the best and most consensual immunization strategy.
