问题如下:
Two par bonds have the same duration but different convexity. All else being equal, if yields to maturity increase by 10 basis points, it is most likely that:
选项:
A.the more convex bond underperforms the less convex bond.
B.both bond prices decrease by the same amount.
C.the more convex bond outperforms the less convex bond.
解释:
C is correct.
The two bonds are assumed to have the same price, yield-to-maturity, and modified duration. The benefit of greater convexity occurs when their yields-to-maturity change. And for the same increase in yield-to-maturity, the more convex bond depreciates less in price than the less convex bond.
考点:Bond Convexity and Convexity Adjustment
解析:凸度对于投资者来说是有利的,在其他条件相同时,债券凸度越大,对投资者越有利。当利率都上升10 bps时,凸度大的债券价格降幅更小,比凸度小的债券表现更好,故选项C正确。
那不管yield怎么变,是升是降,more convex的都要outperform less convex的?
