问题如下:
If interest rates increase, an investor who owns a mortgage pass-through security is most likely affected by:
选项:
A.credit risk.
B.extension risk.
C.contraction risk.
解释:
B is correct.
Extension risk is the risk that when interest rate rise, fewer prepayments will occur. Homeowners will be reluctant to give up the benefit of a contractual interest rate that is lower. As a result, the mortgage passthrough security becomes longer in maturity than anticipated at the time of purchase.
考点:延期风险
解析:当利率上升时,homeowner不会选择提前还款,这样一来导致的风险就是extension risk,即延期风险,故选项B正确。
