问题如下:
Wang is a fixed-income analyst in a wealth management firm. He expects the yield curve will remain stable over the next 12 months. Suppose the investment horizon is 1-year and there are two strategies at the moment. The first one is to apply buy and hold strategy using the government bonds and the second is to buy a 2-year government bond and invest for 1-year. The relevant information is shown below:
According to the information above, what is the implied forward rate F(1,1)?
选项:
A.3.36%
B.3.84%
C.3.11%
解释:
B is correct
考点:使用Riding the yield curve策略时收益率曲线的理解
解析:当前状态下,1年期债券的YTM是2.88%,2年期债券的YTM是3.36%,则F(1,1)等于:
(1+2.88%)[1+F(1,1)]=(1+3.36%)^2
F(1,1)=3.84%
老师,我有以下2个问题:
1.以buy and hold为例,rolling yield 结果即为YTM的值,所以这两个是一个概念吗?如果考试的时候没有给YTM的值,可以这么计算得到吗?
2.有点忘记了YTM和spot rate分别是什么概念,有什么区别了,烦请老师帮忙解答
