问题如下:
A bond portfolio manager wants to reduce the duration from 5.5 to 4.5 by 3-year interest rate swap with quarterly payments, the market value of portfolio is $10,000,000. The modified duration of the payer swap is -2.125. The notional principle of swap is closest to:
选项:
A.$4,931,864
B.$4,705,882
C.$3,515,235
解释:
B is correct.
考点:用interest rate swap 改变duration
解析:
此题需要降低duration,因此应该进入payer swap,
NP=(4.5-5.5)*10,000,000/(-2.125)=$4,705,882
固定端的duration为什么是2.25?
