为什么需要考虑predicting cash flow方面是否是good hedge?

NO.PZ2022123002000067

问题如下:

TCMS, a medical college, is also a client of NMSA. TCMS currently has a two-year loan outstanding with a 5.5% fixed annual interest rate. Bing expects a decline in interest rates and advises TCMS to enter into a two-year interest rate swap in which TCMS would pay Libor + 0.5% and receive a 5.5% fixed rate. From TCMS's perspective, the duration of a two-year fixed rate loan is –1.5 years and the duration of a floating rate loan is –0.125. Bing asks Torres, "Can you comment on the overall impact of the interest rate swap on TCMS?"

Torres responds, "The net effect of entering the swap is to reduce the interest rate sensitivity of the overall loan plus swap position relative to the loan by itself. If the swap is added, however, it will be harder for TCMS to predict cash flows, and from this perspective, the swap does not serve as a good hedge."

Is Torres’ response to Bing most likely correct?

选项:

A.

No, he is incorrect about hedging ability of the swap

B.

Yes

C.

No, he is incorrect about the sensitivity of the overall position

解释:

Correct Answer: B

Torres is correct on both accounts. The duration of the original loan is –1.5. The fixed leg of the interest rate swap has a duration of 1.5, and the duration of the variable leg of the swap is –0.125. Thus, the duration of the overall position is –0.125. The overall sensitivity is reduced. The firm will find it harder to predict cash flows, however, because the net exposure is to the variable Libor rate. Therefore, Torres is correct that the swap serves as a poor hedge from the perspective of predicting cash flows.

Interest sensitivity已经减少了,为什么还需要考虑是否能预测未来的现金流?我觉得题目中考虑的最后额外的方面本身就是不需要的。老师可以讲解一下成为Good hedge的因素吗?

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


这题是这样的,本身这个公司有一个固定利率的贷款,现在因为预期未来利率会下降,所以要进入一个付浮动收固定的swap,这样一来,就把原来的支付浮动利息的贷款,变成了支付浮动利息。这样做的优点是可以降低整体头寸的duration,降低利率敏感性,缺点就是原来是支出固定利息,未来的支出都是可以预测的,变成浮动利息以后,未来的支出现金流是不确定了,这对一家企业来讲并不是好事,具体原因可能是比如在资金安排上无法提前做好计划,在会计处理上也会存在问题等等。所以这个答案的意思是做这个hedge既有利也有弊,这个hedge也不是完美的。
