The Duration Dilemma:
When interest rates rise dramatically, previously issued low-coupon government bonds become significantly less attractive. Market participants will only purchase these bonds at substantial discounts to their original value. If a financial institution, including central banks, sell such “safe” bonds then the losses can become very substantial.

The Duration Trap: Navigating Hidden Risks in 'Risk-Free' Investments
The Central Bank Conundrum:
The Bank of England alone faces approximately £150 billion in losses from having sold, and continuing to sell, UK gilts during its current Quantitative Tightening program. This alarming amount exceeds the UK's annual education budget and represents an additional £5,000 debt charge to all UK households. While the UK government has underwritten the Bank of England's losses, adding them to public debt, similar substantial write-downs are occurring at the Federal Reserve and ECB, creating concerning balance sheet situations.
SVB's collapse in March 2023 demonstrates how even the 16th largest US bank can fall victim to duration risk mismanagement. Their portfolio of long-duration Treasury bonds, purchased during historically low interest rates, saw mark-to-market values plummet to 80% or less of par value when rates increased rapidly. Surprisingly, SVB failed to put in place a robust hedging strategy to manage duration risk when there was a depositor run on the bank.
The Silicon Valley Bank Cautionary Tale
There is a growing resistance on the part of large institutional investors to keep buying long duration government bonds. This has arisen in an especially acute way in Japan recently. Japanese insurers and other large firms are turning away from buying 30-year and 40-year JGB’s - potentially leading to a crisis for the Japanese government where the public debt to GDP ratio at around 250% is the highest in the developed world.
The U.S. government, itself facing growing concerns from global investors about the deteriorating fiscal position of the USA, has also announced that it will shorten the maturity profile of U.S. Treasury debt by suspending sales of 20-year and 30-year maturities.
The next interest rate shift could be the one that exposes major vulnerabilities.
