The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of a duration vector developed by Chambers and others (1, 2, 3, 4) to reduce the interest-rate-risk exposure of a financial institution. Three balance sheets are constructed using the duration-vector. Each balance sheet is designed to eliminate the sensitivity of the financial institution's equity to interest-rate changes that affect the financial institutions' assets and liabilities. The three balance sheets are analyzed with interest-rate data from 1971-1983. The results indicate that the duration-vector is able to eliminate virtually all interest-rate risk.

This first volume of the Handbook of Asset and Liability Management presents the theories and methods supporting models that align a firm's operations and tactics with its uncertain environment. Detailing the symbiosis between optimization tools and financial decision-making, its original articles cover term and volatility structures, interest rates, risk-return analysis, dynamic asset allocation strategies in discrete and continuous time, the use of stochastic programming models, bond portfolio management, and the Kelly capital growth theory and practice. They effectively set the scene for Volume Two by showing how the management of risky assets and uncertain liabilities within an integrated, coherent framework remains the core problem for both financial institutions and other business enterprises as well.*Each volume presents an accurate survey of a sub-field of finance*Fills a substantial gap in this field*Broad in scope
