Which of the following statements best describes the forward rate bias?
选项:
A.Investors tend to favor
fixed-income investments in currencies that trade at a premium on a forward basis.
Investors tend to hedge fixed-income investments in higher-yielding currencies given the potential for lower returns due to currency depreciation.
Investors tend to favor unhedged fixed-income investments in higher-yielding currencies that are sometimes enhanced by borrowing in lower-yielding currencies.
解释:
C is correct.
Forward rate bias is
defined as an observed divergence from interest
rate parity conditions under which active investors seek to benefit by
borrowing in a
lower-yield currency and investing in a higher-yield currency.
A is incorrect since lower-yielding currencies trade at a forward premium. B is incorrect due to covered interest rate parity; fully hedged foreign currency fixed-income investments will tend to yield the domestic risk-free rate.
