5y risk free bond with a starting yield of 20% and flat yield curve. Assume you sell it every year after 1 year and buy a new 5y bond. In scenario 1 yield declines 2% per year for ten years. In scenario 2 yield is constant. Which scenario has higher returns after a decade?

Interestingly from the paper that Corey posted in his reply to my thread the breakeven is 2D-1 which is pretty close to where this lines up given the eff duration of a ZCB
