问题如下:
What is the approximate unhedged excess return to the United States–based credit manager for an international credit portfolio index equally weighted across the four portfolio choices, assuming no change to spread duration and no default losses occur?
选项:
A.–0.257%
–0.850%
0.750%
解释:
A is correct. We solve for the excess spread by subtracting Expected Loss from
the respective OAS:
Recall that the United States–based investor must convert the euro return to US dollars using RDC = (1 + RFC) (1 + RFX) – 1, so the USD IG and USD HY positions comprising half the portfolio return an average 0.80%, while the EUR IG and EUR HY positions return –1.314% in US dollar terms (= ((1 + ((0.65% + 0.75%)/2)) × 0.98) – 1), so –0.257% = ((0.80% – 1.314%)/2).
为什么汇率里的expected return是这道题里的 excess spread return 呢?
我好像有点钻进牛角尖儿了,我是把最后一列的loss 当成expected return带入 rdc=(1+rfc)(1+rfx)-1 中的。
咱们在这一部分学的excess spread return 应该跟spread 挂钩啊 为啥直接算作rdc和rfc呢
