问一道题:NO.PZ2019103001000051

问题如下:

Silvia Abram and Walter Edgarton are analysts with Cefrino Investments, which sponsors the Cefrino Sovereign Bond Fund (the Fund). Abram and Edgarton recently attended an investment committee meeting where interest rate expectations for the next 12 months were discussed. The Fund’s mandate allows its duration to fluctuate ±0.30 per year from the benchmark duration. The Fund’s duration is currently equal to its benchmark. Although the Fund is presently invested entirely in annual coupon sovereign bonds, its investment policy also allows investments in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and call options on government bond futures. The Fund’s current holdings of on-the-run bonds are presented in Exhibit 1.

Over the next 12 months, Abram expects a stable yield curve; however, Edgarton expects a steepening yield curve, with short-term yields rising by 1.00% and long-term yields rising by more than 1.00%.

Based on Exhibit 1 and Abram’s expectation for the yield curve over the next 12 months, the strategy most likely to improve the Fund’s return relative to the benchmark is to:





选项:

A.

buy and hold

B.

increase convexity

C.

ride the yield curve

解释:

C is correct.

Since Abram expects the curve to remain stable, the yield curve is upward sloping and the Fund’s duration is neutral to its benchmark. Her best strategy is to ride the yield curve and enhance return by capturing price appreciation as the bonds shorten in maturity.

老师您好,请问这道题里面提到了Edgarton expects a steepening yield curve,已经不满足riding the yield curve的条件,为什么答案选C不选B呢

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


这道题一样,还是信息没对上。

注意看题目的要求:Based on Exhibit 1 and Abram’s expectation,是基于表1与Abarm同学的利率预期。

对应题干信息:Abram expects a stable yield curve; however, Edgarton expects a steepening yield curve

Abram同学的利率预期是Stable yield curve;

Edgarton同学的利率预期才是Steepening yield curve。

所以这道题是基于Stable yield curve的利率预期选择。

从表1发现是Upward-sloping的利率曲线,然后基于A同学的Stable yield curve,我们可以直接选出来是C正确。
