问题如下:
Smith gathers information on spot rates for on-the-run annual-coupon government securities and swap spreads, as presented in Exhibit below.
Smith buys a four-year, zero-coupon corporate bond and then sell it after two years. Smith illustrates the returns from this strategy using the swap rate as a proxy for corporate yields. Smith should show a total return closest to:
选项:
A.4.31%.
B.5.42%.
C.6.53%.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:考察Riding the yield curve策略
解析:由题干已知,Swap rate来代替公司债的收益率;四年期的Swap spread息差为0.70%,4年期的国债收益率Government spot rate 为4.05%,则4年期的swap rate = 4.05% + 0.70% = 4.75%。
因此,购买的4年期零息债券的价格为:
两年期的公司债收益率为2年期的Swap rate, swap rate = 2.70% +0.30% = 3%,
4年期的零息债券持有2年后的卖出价格为:
则这笔投资的年化总收益为:
为什么是从第四年往第二年折旧这个问题,我有认真听基础课,对于何老师讲到这个知识点有点遗忘,请老师再详细表述一下?或者方便指出来具体在哪个视频里有体现?我再去重新听一下。
