Generation

# Duration and Interest-Rate Risk **Duration** is the weighted average time to receive a bond's cash flows, measured in years, and represents the approximate percentage change in a bond's price for a 1% change in interest rates. **Interest-rate risk** is the risk that rising interest rates will cause a bond's market value to decline (since bond prices and yields move inversely). **Why it matters:** Duration quantifies interest-rate risk, allowing investors to predict potential losses—a bond with a duration of 7 years will lose approximately 7% of its value if rates rise 1%. This is critical for portfolio management, matching assets to liabilities, and making informed decisions about when to buy, sell, or hold fixed-income securities in different rate environments.
