In this paper we analyze how innovations in the term structure cause unexpected variations in the returns of fixed-income securities, and suggest a measure of these effects, which is essentially a generalization of the concept of duration. This measure is particularly suitable in performance attribution of fixed-income portfolios, since it enhances excess returns deriving from adjustments in forward rates, and leaves space for contributions caused by market frictions

Some Refinements on Fixed-Income Performance Attribution

Abstract

In this paper we analyze how innovations in the term structure cause unexpected variations in the returns of fixed-income securities, and suggest a measure of these effects, which is essentially a generalization of the concept of duration. This measure is particularly suitable in performance attribution of fixed-income portfolios, since it enhances excess returns deriving from adjustments in forward rates, and leaves space for contributions caused by market frictions
