Explanation:
I am assuming a lot here, but I guess they are talking about the duration of obligations or credit, and "durasjon" is the word used by Norwegian bankers.

By worst, I assume it's the weakest debt in a portfolio, so my suggestion is something like

durasjon til/for dårligste
durasjon til/for svakeste
durasjon til/for (gjeld med) høyest risiko

Sorry, it should be "modifisert durasjon" (rentefølsomhet): http://www.finansleksikon.no/Finansleksikon/D/Durasjon.html

"Modifisert durasjon for svakeste"

Example sentence(s):
  • Risikoen for at obligasjoner med fast rente holdt i underfondet kan falle i pris med en økning i det gjeldende renterisikonivået i økonomien. Denne risikoen er vanligvis mindre for obligasjoner med lavere kredittvurdering og kortere durasjon-til-verste
