Q: do you know what "immunization" is?

Category: glossary , Asked by: L. Mayer from Austria

A: the "immunization " is A strategy that matches the durations of assets and liabilities thereby minimizing the impact of interest rates on the net worth. Also known as "multiperiod immunization". For example, large banks must protect their current net worth, whereas pension funds have the obligation of payments after a number of years. These institutions are both concerned about protecting the future value of their portfolios and therefore have the problem of dealing with uncertain future interest rates. By using an immunization technique, large institutions can protect (immunize) their firm from exposure to interest rate fluctuations. A perfect immunization strategy establishes a virtually zero-risk profile in which interest rate movements have no impact on the value of a firm. Visit MIG Investments

    what is the "price continuity"?

    Category: glossary by O. Joyner from Nepean, Canada

    A characteristic of a liquid market where the price movements between transactions are relatively small. Each trade results in minimal price changes, as if the proceeding price continued through to the next transaction. Price continuity represents the depth in a market, indicating a large number of buyers and sellers for a security. Each buyer and seller will have a bid and an ask, which represent the prices at which traders will buy or sell a stock. The bid-ask spread usually tightens with a large number of buyers and sellers, so the range in which a security will trade narrows. A narrow trading range will produce a high degree of price continuity.
