问题如下:
Once the manager purchases CDS protection, the issuer’s CDS spread immediately falls to 1.60%. What is the investor’s approximate mark-to-market gain or loss for a contract notional of €10,000,000?
选项:
A.The manager realizes an approximate loss of €131,250.
The manager realizes an approximate gain of €131,250.
The manager realizes an approximate gain of €525,000.
解释:
A is correct. The CDS spread decline of 0.15% leads to a new CDS contract price of 94.75 per 100 face value (=1 – (EffSpreadDurCDS × ∆Spread) or (8.75 × 0.60%)).
The protection buyer (short risk) position therefore realizes an approximate mark-to-market loss of €131,250 (=(94.75 – 93.4375)/100 × €10,000,000) because of the 0.15% decline in CDS spreads.
想请问下,我是这么理解的,算出来不对在哪里?
1. 判断头寸:long CDS=short bond
2. 计算return
(1)coupon=10,000,000*1%=100,000(对于long方的支出)
(2)计算price appreciate
P1=1+(fixed coupon-credit spread)*ED=1+(1%-(1.75%-1.6%))*8.75=0.996875
P0=1+(1%-1.75%)*8.75=0.934375
🔺p=(0.996875-0.934375)*10,000,000=625,000(价格↑,spread↓,对于long CDS=short bond的人来说不利,是loss)
(3)总的loss=100,000+625,000=725,000
