negative risks or positive？

问题如下：

Hightest Capital purchases a seven-year, 6.4% coupon bond and has an intended investment horizon of four years. The Macaulay duration of the bond is 5.86 years. If interest rates increase by 50 bps immediately after buying the bond, Hightest Capital faces:

选项：

A.

negative price risk

B.

negative reinvestment risk

C.

positive price risk

Correct Answer: A

Hightest Capital’s investment horizon is four years, which is less than the bond’s Macaulay duration of 5.86 years. Therefore, price risk dominates reinvestment risk and Hightest Capital faces price risk from rising interest rates.
