A.An investor in the Baywhite Structured Note assumes the credit risk of Baywhite Financial LLC for 20% of the note's face value, as the remaining 80% is principal protected. An investor entering into the SIXV derivative on a stand-alone basis assumes the counterparty credit risk of a financial intermediary. B.An investor in the Baywhite Structured Note assumes the credit risk of Baywhite Financial LLC for 80% of the note's face value, as the remaining 20% is associated with the embedded derivative. An investor entering into the SIXV derivative on a stand-alone basis assumes the counterparty credit risk of a financial intermediary. C.An investor in the Baywhite Structured Note assumes the credit risk of Baywhite Financial LLC for 100% of the note's face value, while an investor entering into the SIXV derivative on a stand-alone basis assumes the counterparty credit risk of an exchange and its clearinghouse.解释:
Solution
C is correct.
The investor assumes the credit risk of Baywhite Financial LLC for the full value of the structured note as the structured note issuer. Under the purchased exchange-traded SIXV call option, the investor faces the risk of the exchange and its clearinghouse, which provides a guarantee of contract settlement backed by the exchange insurance fund.
中文解析:
题干问的是:以下哪一项陈述最好地对比了Baywhite Financial LLC结构性票据的信用风险与独立进入嵌入式( stand-alone basis)交易所交易衍生品的投资者的交易对手信用风险?
对于投资者来说购买该结构化票据相当于购买了一个中期债note和一个看涨期权。
注意本题问的是对于中期债这部分,有可能所有的本金都收不回来,会面临着100%的信用风险;
而作为long call的一方,也是会面临着信用风险的。
注意虽然题干中80%的本金是受保护的,也就是说这部分的本金是对方答应到期会给我们的,但是这并不影响由于各种原因对手当在到期时无法支付,因此也是面临着信用风险的。
怎么得出的答案?
