OFRE000345 – Average Effective Spread Duration

Highlights the sensitivity of the underlying corporate bond portfolio to changes in credit spreads. For example, floating rate notes may have a marginal effective duration but a very meaningful spread duration. In case of callable bonds, the first call date should be used for the calculation. The credit spread is the difference between the yield of a security and the yield of a benchmark rate, such as a cash interest rate or government bond yield.

Applicable to bond funds investing in corporate bonds (including convertibles) with a fix maturity/call date. Option-adjusted (net) figures. Calculation methodology should be in line with the standards of the asset manager and the resulting fixture should be aligned to other publications (e.g. Factsheets).
