问题如下:
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.
- average time to maturity 就是组合里资产的Mac.Dur加权平均得到的对吗?然后 Mac.Dur 就是将组合里的各项资产视为整体用cash flow yield那个方法得到的每笔现金流现值求得的权重吗?
- 假设组合3的MacDur和组合2一样,那是不是选3,因为convexity相对小?
