Duration is thought of as a present value weighted measure of payback.

A bond (or bond portfolio) with a higher duration is more volatile than a bond (or bond portfolio) with a lower duration.

It is easier to immunize a bond portfolio when the duration of the portfolio is matched to the need for funds. For example, if funds are needed at year five, then the duration of the portfolio should equal five.
