Abstract
A bond portfolio model with interest rate swaps is developed to carry out the mean-variance analysis. It is found that interest rate swaps can be used to reallocate non-marketable bonds in the portfolio by swapping out the non-traded fixed-rate bonds into LIBOR-based floating rate notes. The optimal allocation of bond portfolios can be achieved from the implicit reallocation of non-marketable bonds in the portfolios.
