问题如下:
Given McLaughlin’s interest rate expectations over the next 12 months, one way that Donaldson and McLaughlin could alter convexity to enhance expected return would be to:
选项:
A.sell call options on bonds held in the portfolio.
B.buy call options on long-maturity government bond futures.
C.sell put options on bonds they would be willing to own in the portfolio.
解释:
B is correct.
McLaughlin expects interest rate volatility to be high and the yield curve to experience an increase in the butterfly spread, with the 30-year yield remaining unchanged. To increase the portfolio’s expected return, Donaldson and McLaughlin should buy call options on long-maturity government bond futures to increase convexity.
老师,这道题我有些问题想请教一下
1、题目原文里有条件说30年的收益率保持不变。请问在30年不变的情况下,要调整凸度加强收益,也不应该是买长期债的call option啊
否则买了不变,不是白买么?
2、题目原文说the yield curve to experience an increase in the 2s10s30s butterfly spread, 这句话什么意思?
3、如果按exhibit 1 里面写的,2s5s10s的利率都是上涨的情况下,改变凸度加强收益,是否可以选择 sell call option呢。我理解,如果利率上涨,那么,债券价格下降,这时候卖出看涨期权不是可以挣钱么。
