Abstract

Immunisation is not a static strategy as the literature affirms: we
argue that the conditions established for reaching immunisation
are unbalanced in themselves as times go on. This paper presents a
valid, comprehensive strategy with all the conditions and assumptions
made. It is checked in the Spanish debt market with data from 2004
to 2013 using some immunised portfolios preset following these
conditions so that there is no rebalancing. The authors find a strategy
that eliminates the requirement of rebalancing because of time
passing or due to the mere parallel shift of interest rates regarding
the yields that should have been obtained under the hypothesis of
the rational expectations theory.
