问一道题:NO.PZ2018062006000122

问题如下:

Which of the following statements about the limitation of portfolio duration is not true?

选项:

A.

The measure of portfolio duration assumes a nonparallel shift in the yield curve.

B.

In reality, interest rate changes frequently result in a steeper or flatter yield curve.

C.

The measure of portfolio duration assumes that all rates change by the same amount in the same direction.

解释:

A is correct.

The limitation of portfolio duration is that the measure of portfolio duration implicitly assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve, which implies that all rates change by the same amount in the same direction. In reality, interest rate changes frequently result in a steeper or flatter yield curve.

老师,这道题可以详细讲一下吗?谢谢

题目要我们选的是portfolio duration缺陷中不正确的一项。刚才类似考点的一道题目里面,我已经解释过了,用各个债券duration的加权平均作为portfolio的duration,这样做的缺点就是假设收益率曲线发生平行移动,忽略了收益率曲线的非平行移动。所以A选项的表述有误,选A。

平行移动指收益率曲线上所有的利率变化幅度、方向均相同。所以选项C是portfolio duration的缺陷。

实际上,收益率曲线大概率发生的都是非平行移动,比如收益率曲线变得更陡峭或更平坦等等。选项B忽略了非平行移动就是portfolio duration的缺陷。
