问一道题:NO.PZ2016031001000119 [ CFA I ]

问题如下:

Which of the following statements about Macaulay duration is correct?

选项:

A.

A bond’s coupon rate and Macaulay duration are positively related.

B.

A bond’s Macaulay duration is inversely related to its yield-to-maturity.

C.

The Macaulay duration of a zero-coupon bond is less than its time-to-maturity.

解释:

B is correct.

A bond’s yield-to-maturity is inversely related to its Macaulay duration: The higher the yield-to-maturity, the lower its Macaulay duration and the lower the interest rate risk. A higher yield-to-maturity decreases the weighted average of the times to the receipt of cash flow, and thus decreases the Macaulay duration.

A bond’s coupon rate is inversely related to its Macaulay duration: The lower the coupon, the greater the weight of the payment of principal at maturity. This results in a higher Macaulay duration. Zero-coupon bonds do not pay periodic coupon payments; therefore, the Macaulay duration of a zero-coupon bond is its time-to-maturity.

duration和maturity不是正相关吗?唯一的例外是时间太长的d折价发行债券,没有反相关的情况吧

A bond’s Macaulay duration is inversely related to its yield-to-maturity. B选项说的是duration和YTM成反向关系,没有说maturity,读题要仔细。
