Abstract

The required return on a fixed-income instrument (bond) is a function of its maturity. In effect, different maturities yield different interest rates for these assets. This paper proposes to review the main concepts related to the Time Value of Investment (TVI) and the tools for its derivation. Given the instrumental approach, the seminal theories and models will be presented, emphasizing the tools used based on market prices. The estimation of spot and forward rates will be analyzed using the bootstrapping methodology with matrix calculations. The TVI allows us to determine the time value of money, which is not constant but rather associated with the duration, expected value, and inherent risk of the instruments traded in the fixed-income market.
