问题如下:
Which of the following credit portfolio positioning strategies is the most appropriate to underweight the financial sector versus an index?
选项:
A.
Purchase protection on the CDX and sell protection on the CDX Financials subindex.
B.
Sell protection on the CDX and purchase protection on the CDX Financials subindex.
C.
Purchase a payer option on the CDX and sell protection on the CDX Financials subindex.
解释:
B is correct. Selling protection on the CDX index is a “long” credit spread risk position, while purchasing protection on the CDX Financials subindex is a “short” credit spread risk position, leaving the investor with a long index position without exposure to financial reference entities in the CDX index. Both A and C increase exposure to financial sector issuers.
求问purchase a payer option on the CDX?这个是不是有权进入一个pay CDX spread,相当于sell CDX spread,即转移风险,long CDX protection。有权买保险对不对?谢谢老师
