Modified Duration Analytic

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Modified Duration Analytic. The percentage price change of a security for a given change in yield. The higher the modified duration of a security, the higher its risk. Ad/ModDuration = [duration / {1 + (IRR/M)}]; where IRR is the internal rate of return and M is the number of compounding periods per year.

The higher the MD the greater the change in price for a given change in yield.
