问题如下:
A three-year credit-linked note (CLN) with underlying company Z has a LIBOR+60bp semiannual coupon. The face value of the CLN is USD 100. LIBOR is 5% for all maturities. The current three-year CDS spread for company Z is 90bp. The fair value of the CLN is closest to
选项: USD
100.00
USD 111.05
C.USD 101.65
D.USD 99.19
解释:
ANSWER: D
Because the current CDS spread is greater than the coupon, the CLN must be selling at a discount. The only solution is d. More precisely, we can use the spread duration from Equation: , which is the sum of the present value factor over three years. Assuming a flat term structure,this is years. Multiplying by (90-60) = 30bp gives a fall of 0.81%,which gives $99.19.
这题到底要怎么做?完全无法理解,请老师讲的更基础些。
我看之前老师说将CLN当作一个bond,coupon就是5.6%,但是cds spread是5.9%。
然后我就不知道怎么做了
