问题如下:
The three-year spot rate is 4% (semi-annually compounded). An investor buys a three year zero-coupon bond for 87.0. What is the spread?
解释:
Suppose that the spread is s. We need to solve
87=100/(1+0.04/2+S/2)6
so that: 1+0.02+S/2=(100/87)1/6=1.0235
The spread is
0.0070 or 70 basis points.
为什么不能直接按年化去求折现率,然后再相减得出spread
