这里的duration怎么匹配

NO.PZ2023032703000035

问题如下:

Adams and junior portfolio manager Frank Neeson review the fixed-income portfolios of two new defined benefit plan clients, Lawson Doors & Cabinets, Inc., and Wharton Farms. Lawson’s plan has 30 participants, who are mostly experienced craftsmen and machinists, whereas Wharton has over 100 participants in its plan. The average participant age is 15 years younger for the Wharton plan compared with the Lawson plan. In both plans, participants receive a monthly benefit upon retirement based on average final pay and have no option for a lump sum distribution. The two plans’ portfolio characteristics are shown in Exhibit 2.


Adams states to Neeson, “For the Lawson and Wharton plans, we can consider one of three alternative strategies to manage the multiple liabilities associated with these plans. Whenever a plan’s surplus is less than 5%, we favor passive management strategies.”

Which of the following three strategies is least likely appropriate for the plans in Exhibit 2? (2019 mock AM)

选项:

A.

Duration matching

B.

Cash flow matching

C.

Contingent immunization

解释:

B is correct. Cash flow matching is least appropriate for both plans. In both the Lawson and Wharton plans, participants are entitled to receive a monthly benefit. Cash flow matching entails building a dedicated portfolio of zero-coupon or fixed-income bonds to ensure there are sufficient cash inflows to pay the scheduled cash outflows. However, such a strategy is impractical and can lead to large cash flow holdings between payment dates, resulting in reinvestment risk and forgone returns on cash holdings.

C is incorrect. Contingent immunization is an appropriate strategy for both plans. Contingent immunization allows for active bond portfolio management until a minimum threshold in the surplus is reached. The threshold of 5% (of assets greater than liabilities) is exceeded in both plans; the Lawson portfolio has a surplus of 7.7%, and the Wharton portfolio has a surplus of 11.8%.

A is incorrect. Duration management is also appropriate for both the Lawson and Wharton plans. In this case, however, because they enjoy a surplus of assets to liabilities, the contingent immunization strategy is most appropriate. Since the plans are in the process of being advised by Pavonia, Wharton would likely be advised to eliminate the duration gap in similar form to Lawson.

wharton这个计划asset和liability的duration差很多啊,怎么matching呢

嗨,从没放弃的小努力你好:


先说一下,这道题出的不好,不是很典型。

题目说,如果surplus>5%,可以active 管理,surplus<5%,只能passive管理。

两个Portfolio的surplus分别为7.7%和11%,均大于5%,所以可以做active管理。

active 管理有种方式是derivative overlay策略,也就是BPVasset≠BPVliability,通过对未来利率的预期来通过derivative调节BPVasset,让BPVasset>、=、或<BPVliability,这里的duration matching指的就是这个意思。

这道题不用纠结。
