问题如下:
Based on Exhibit 2, relative to Portfolio C, Portfolio B:
选项:
A.has higher cash flow reinvestment risk.
B.is a more desirable portfolio for liquidity management.
C.provides less protection from yield curve shifts and twists.
解释:
B is correct.
Portfolio B is a laddered portfolio with maturities spread more or less evenly over the yield curve. A desirable aspect of a laddered portfolio is liquidity management. Because there is always a bond close to redemption, the soon-to-mature bond can provide emergency liquidity needs. Barbell portfolios, such as Portfolio C, have maturities only at the short-term and long-term ends and thus are much less desirable for liquidity management
现金流越分散,dispersion越高,convexity越大: barbell>laddered>bullet
convexity越大,protection from yield curve change越小:bullet>ladder>barbell
现金流越早到期,reinvestment risk越大: barbell>laddered>bullet
现金流越平均,越是desirable liquidity management:ladder>barbell>bullet
现金流分散和平均也不是一个意思,前者是现金流的时间差大,后者是现金流时间差相似。
