问题如下:

An active investor enters a duration-neutral yield curve flattening trade that combines 2-year and 10-year Treasury positions. Under which of the following yield curve scenarios would you expect the investor to realize the greatest portfolio gain?

选项:

A.

Bear steepening

B.

bull flattening

C.

Yield curve inversion

解释:

C is correct.

A duration-neutral flattening trade involves a short 2-year Bond position and a long 10-year bond position, which have a matched duration or portfolio duration of zero. This portfolio will realize a gain if the slope of the yield curvethat is, the difference between short-term and long-term yieldsdeclines. Yield curve inversion is an extreme version of flattening in which the spread between long-term and short-term yields-to-maturity falls below zero.

The bear steepening in A involves an unchanged 2-year yield-to-maturity with a rise in the 10-year yield-to-maturity, causing a portfolio loss. The bull flattening in B combines a constant 2-year yield-to-maturity with lower 10-year rates, resulting in a gain on the 10-year bond position and an unchanged 2-year bond position.

麻烦可以再讲解一下这题么?不明白这题的解题思路是什么。谢谢

这道题的题干这句就直接说明的头寸:

duration-neutral yield curve flattening trade that combines 2-year and 10-year Treasury positions

这是一个Duration-neutral的策略,这说明是一个Long-short策略,因为duration-neutral要实现组合整体的duration=0,只有Long-short策略才能实现。

然后是用2-year和10-year的债券构建,且是针对Yield curve flattening的策略。

针对yield curve flattening的策略就是在Yield curve flattening时可以盈利,那应该是long 10-year, short 2-year。

现在题目问,这样的策略,在选项的哪个利率改变中会有最大的收益。

那就是短期利率上升,长期利率下降时,Short 2-year有盈利,且Long 10-year有盈利。

对应就是选项C,选项C的短期利率上升幅度极大,长期利率下跌幅度极大,所以导致出现了yield curve inversion。long 10-year, short 2-year的组合,在这样的利率曲线下,收益会达到最大。


其实Long 10-year + short 2-year,这是一个针对yield curve flattening的策略,只要是发生yield curve flattening,那么都可以盈利。那选项B的Bull flattening下,这个策略肯定也可以盈利。

首先Bull是利率曲线的整体平行下移,long 10-year与short 2-year这是一个duration-neutral策略,整个组合不受利率曲线平行下移的影响。

然后在Flattening时,长期利率相对下降,短期利率相对上升,long 10-year和short 2-year的整体策略可以赚到收益。但这个收益肯定没有选项C的yield curve inversion大。所以本题不选B。

其实选项C的yield curve inverstion是yield curve flattening的极端情况。那么针对yield curve flattening的(long 10-year + short 2-year)策略在选项C的曲线变动下盈利肯定最大。

Yield curve flattening长期利率相对下降,短期利率相对上升。如果要构建一个针对性的盈利策略,只能是long长期10-year, short短期2-year。因为长期利率下降时,long长期可以获得capital gain;短期利率相对上升时,short短期债券也可以盈利。还有针对yield curve steepening的策略(long短期,Short长期)。看到yield curve flattening strategy和yield curve steepening strategy的策略要能立即反应出来是long,short哪些债券。
