Based on Exhibit 1, which of the portfolios will best immunize
SD&R’s single liability?
选项:
A.Portfolio 1
B.Portfolio 2
C.Portfolio 3
解释:
B
is correct. In the case of a single liability, immunization is achieved by
matching the bond portfolio’s Macaulay duration with the horizon date. DFC has
a single liability of $500 million due in nine years. Portfolio 2 has a
Macaulay duration of 8.9, which is closer to 9 than that of either Portfolio 1
or 3. Therefore, Portfolio 2 will best immunize the portfolio against the
liability.
