C. The
put feature in a puttable bond lowers its yield compared with the yield of an
equivalent straight bond.
D. The
price of an inverse floater decreases as interest rates increase.
解释:
ANSWER: A
Answer B is valid because a short position in a callable bond is the same as a short position in a straight bond plus a long position in a call (the issuer can call the bond back). Answer C is valid because a put is favorable for the investor, so it lowers the yield. Answer D is valid because an inverse floater has high duration.
