Based
on DFC’s bond holdings and Exhibit 2, Molly should recommend:
选项:
A.Benchmark 1.
B.Benchmark 2.
C.Benchmark 3.
解释:
B
is correct. DFC has two types of assets, short term and intermediate term. For
the short-term assets, a benchmark with a short duration is appropriate. For
the intermediate-term assets, a benchmark with a longer duration is
appropriate.
In
this situation, DFC may wish to combine several well-defined sub-benchmark
categories into an overall blended benchmark (Benchmark 2). The Bloomberg
Barclays Short-Term Treasury Index is an appropriate benchmark for the
short-term assets, and SD&R uses a 50% weight for this component. The
longer-duration Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate Bond Index is an appropriate
benchmark for the intermediate-term assets, and SD&R uses a 50% weight for
this component. As a result, Molly should recommend proposed Benchmark 2.
这里duration指标有什么作用?
