问一道题:NO.PZ2015121810000007 [ CFA II ]

问题如下:

A wealthy investor has no other source of income beyond her investments and that income is expected to reliably meet all her needs. Her investment advisor recommends that she tilt her portfolio to cyclical stocks and high-yield bonds. Explain the advisor’s advice in terms of comparative advantage in bearing risk.

解释:

This wealthy investor has a comparative advantage in bearing business cycle risk compared with the average investor who depends on income from employment. Because the average investor is sensitive to the business cycle and in particular the risk of recession, we would expect there to be a risk premium to hold recession-sensitive securities. Cyclical stocks and high-yield bonds are both very sensitive to the risk of recessions. Because the welfare of the wealthy investor is not affected by recessions, she can tilt her portfolio to include cyclical stocks and high yield bonds to attempt to capture the associated risk premiums.

我没太理解,难道不是说这个人除了投资没有其他收益。需要通过投资满足日常的所有需求。这样不应该对投资要求的收益稳定性比较高吗?为什么还要选择周期性的?

“Income is expected to reliably meet all her needs”是题干给的已知条件,不需要再去考虑经济衰退时的情况。

或者说,无论经济如何,题干都假设这个人的income可以满足需求。

同学你好,

题干中说明这是一个富有的投资者,且“ that income is expected to reliably meet all her needs”,即投资所带来的收入足够满足该投资者的日常支出。

在这种情况下,此投资者的风险承担能力很强,可以去投资高风险的产品,即cyclical stocks and high-yield bonds

但是投资周期资产,衰退时岂不income不能可靠的满足生活了,针对income reliable那句的疑问
