• OPTION ADJUSTED DURATION
  
  Refers to the measurement of duration which is targeted for the stated first option (put or call) feature. This reduces the duration statistic from its ordinary measurement. For embedded option securities such as mortgages or other prepayable loans, an estimate is calculated for the expected time of the first option exercise.
