What does 'modified duration' in a debt fund fact sheet measure?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Modified duration measures interest rate sensitivity. A modified duration of 4 years means the fund's NAV will fall approximately 4% if interest rates rise by 1%, and rise approximately 4% if rates fall by 1%. Higher modified duration = higher interest rate risk.
