Excerpt
Essentials of Treasury Management, 6th edition, Chapter 13: Short -Term Investing and Borrowing
III. Pricing and Yields on Short-Term Investments
Factors Influencing Investment Pricing
Yield is a measure of the return an investor derives from a financial instrument. Typically, an investment yield is stated as an annual percentage rate of return. Many factors can influence the pricing and, ultimately, the yield of an investment. These
factors include default, liquidity, and price risk; the general shape of the yield curve; and the tax status of the investment. The concept of yield curves and the impact of an investment’s tax status are described below.
A. Yield Curves
Refer to Exhibit 13.3. The curve in the graphs of the various yields to maturity illustrates what is called the term structure of interest rates. In the left panel of Exhibit 13.3, the yield to maturity on the instrument or class of instruments increases
with maturity, whereas it declines with maturity in the right panel.
The slope, or shape, of the yield curve at a point in time has decision implications for those managing the short-term investment portfolio. Since short-term interest rates are typically lower than long-term rates, an upward-sloping yield curve is referred
to as a normal yield curve. The liquidity preference theory of the term structure of interest rates holds that investors demand a yield premium in compensation for the lower liquidity that is associated with a longer maturity. Thus, long-term rates
are normally higher than short-term rates.
A downward-sloping yield curve is referred to as an inverted yield curve. In this case, investors are shifting their preferences to long-term securities (or conversely, issuers are shifting their preferences to short-term borrowing). This increased demand
for long-term securities causes their prices to increase and long-term yields to decline, thus pushing down the long-term end of the curve and causing an inversion. An inverted yield curve is typically a sign that the market is expecting a recession
in the near future and is investing in longer-term securities to attempt to lock in interest rates or avoid any reduced interest rate that may occur in the short run. It is also a sign of low expectations with regards to future inflation, as expectations
of high inflation would automatically increase the yields required on long-term securities (to offset the expected inflation) and create a normal, upward-sloping yield curve. An inverted yield curve may occur as the result of Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC) open market operations in the United States. If the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) is attempting to raise interest rates, and the target rate is a short-term interest rate, short-term rates will tend to increase before the actions affect longer-term
interest rates. This may result in a downward-sloping yield curve until long-term rates increase.
