RELEASED - October 2015

PORTFOLIO ANALYZER™ Version 9.0

New in this release:

1. Calculate Bond Duration for any bond or for any group of bonds within your portfolio. Duration is an important and increasingly used measure of the sensitivity of a bond's price (current principal) to a change in interest rates. Portfolio Analyzer calculates both Macaulay Duration (time it will take the bond's cash flows to repay the bond's price) and Modified Duration (percentage change in price for a unit change in yield). It also calculates the average duration of your bond portfolio, both allocation-weighted and unweighted. You can select by portfolio or any other group of bonds, and calculate duration from any date using your choice of parameters (desired yield, price, or price vs par) including optional commissions.  With interest rates about to rise, it's critical to know the durations in your bond portfolio.
