问题如下:

In Island’s conversation with West, the spread measure that dealers often quote Island is most likely the:

选项:

A.I-Spread. B.G-spread. C.benchmark spread.

解释:

Solution

C is correct. The benchmark spread is a simple way to calculate a credit spread; it subtracts the yield on a recently issued benchmark-sized security with little or no credit risk (benchmark bond) of a particular maturity from the yield on a credit security. Typically, the benchmark bond is an on-the-run government bond. A problem with benchmark spread is the potential maturity mismatch between the credit security and the benchmark bond. Unless the benchmark yield curve is perfectly flat, using different benchmark bonds will produce different measures of credit spread.

A is incorrect because the I-spread normally uses swap rates that are denominated in the same currency as the credit security.

B is incorrect. The G-spread is the spread over an actual or interpolated government bond.

不太理解题目考查角度,是用排除法,两个具体的I、G-spread选不出,就选benchmark?能否解释一下题目思路

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


主要是依据这句话判断的:Dealers often will quote me a spread to Treasuries whose maturity does not match the bond’s maturity.”

只有benchmark yield不是maturity match的。除此以外,题干也并没有涉及其它的信息,所以只能选benchmark spread。


Benchmark spread是广义的spread概念,benchmark可以用任何收益率作为benchmark。

其中Benchmark spread有一个缺点就是:标的债券的maturity可能和benchmark的maturity不匹配。即mismatch问题,就是题干信息那句话的最后一部分。


当benchmark是government bond时,就是G-spread.

当benchmark是swap时,就是I-spread。

标的债券的Yield减去benchmark的yield就得到各种spread。
