问题如下:
Basedon Exhibit 2, relative to Portfolio C, Portfolio B:
选项:
A.
has higher cash flow reinvestment risk.
B.
is a more desirable portfolio for liquidity management.
C.
provides less protection from yield curve shifts and twists.
解释:
Correct Answer: B
B is correct. Portfolio B is a laddered portfolio with maturities spread more or less evenly over the yield curve. A desirable aspect of a laddered portfolio is liquidity management. Because there is always a bond close to redemption, the soon-to-mature bond can provide emergency liquidity needs. Barbell portfolios, such as Portfolio C, have maturities only at the short-term and long-term ends and thus are much less desirable for liquidity management.
我还是不太理解,convexity越大是否相对更好呢?更能抵御twist变化?究竟什么时候要选convexity大的债券呢?
