问题如下:
What is the instantaneous (holding period of zero) excess return for the BB rated bond if the spread widens by 50 bps?
选项:
A.3.00%
–2.50%
2.50%
解释:
B is correct. The instantaneous holding period return equals –EffSpreadDur × ∆Spread = –5 × 0.5% or –2.50%.
持有期为0所以没有了持有期原始spread也没有了持有期的expected loss, 但是这样因为spread变动造成的excess return有什么实际意义? 都没有持有,何来的return?
