This lecture covers the term structure of interest rates, focusing on the relationship between different term lengths and interest rates. It also delves into valuing bonds, including zero-coupon bonds and coupon bonds, and how to compute their present values. The presentation includes examples of bond pricing and yield to maturity calculations, as well as the impact of credit risk on bond prices. The discussion extends to credit ratings, investment grades, and the concept of green bonds as a sustainable investment option.
