Abstract
We introduce new measures of immunization such as exponential duration referring, in particular, to Fong and Vasiček [7], Nawalkha and Chambers [14], Balbás and Ibáñez [2], and Balbás et al.[3], but under the assumption of multiple shocks in the term structure of interest rates. These shocks are given by a random field. The cases of a single and multiple liabilities are discussed separately.

Keywords: portfolio, immunization, duration, term structure of interest rates, random field
