问题如下:
Are Choate’s comments regarding the risk considerations for investment-grade bonds compared to high-yield bonds most likely correct?选项:
A.No, he is incorrect with respect to investment-grade bonds.
B.Yes.
C.No, he is incorrect with respect to high-yield bonds.
解释:
SolutionB is correct. Investment-grade bonds have lower credit and default risks than high-yield bonds and are more sensitive to interest rate changes and credit migration, which cause credit spread volatility. The much higher credit loss rate experienced with high-yield bonds results in an emphasis on credit risk and the market value of the position to evaluate high-yield risk.
A is incorrect because Choate is correct with respect to both investment grade and high yield bonds.
C is incorrect because Choate is correct with respect to both investment grade and high yield bonds.
老师,答案说Investment-grade bonds have lower credit and default risks than high-yield bonds and are more sensitive to interest rate changes and credit migration。我觉得high-yield bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes and credit migration。 实务中观察到HY的duration高于IG, 是否说明其对利率更敏感?
