Abstract

Bierwag and Khang's (1979) model of immunizing a portfolio of default-free government bonds is expanded here to include default-grade corporate bonds. The immunizing equation is found to be slightly different. Both linear and goal programming are shown to be alternative techniques for identifying an investor's optimal immunizing portfolio.
