Definition for : Bootstrapping model
GLOSSARY LETTER
The bootstrapping model creates the Yield curve by first calculating the yield on one-year Bond and then plugging the result in the two-year Bond. The process is repeated for all maturities. The yields obtained at each step represent the points on the Yield curve.
