Session 2: Understanding Risk - The Risk in Bonds

In this session, we examine the risks of investing in bonds. Even if the payments on the bond are guaranteed (there is no default risk), you face interest rate risk after you buy the bond and we look at simple measures of interest rate risk exposure. We also look at the additional risk that comes from default, how best to measure that default risk and how much to demand as compensation for exposure to that risk.
