问题如下:
Bond B is a 5-year corporate bond with a fixed coupon rate of 7%. The coupon is paid annually. The bond is rated at AA.
Assume the fair value of the bond is 1098.14. The bond’s value assuming no default (VND) is 1187.22.
Li, a credit analyst in a wealth management firm, wants to know the credit spread of Bond B over a theoretical comparable-maturity government bond with the same coupon rate as this bond.
According to the information above, the credit spread is closest to:
选项:
A.1.78%
B.1.83%
C.2.55%
解释:
B is correct.
考点:计算Credit spread
解析:
已知该公司债的Fair value是1098.14,并且该债券是5年期,Coupon rate为7%,根据债券定价,可以反求出其YTM:
反求出来的YTM为4.75%。
而有题干信息The bond’s value assuming no default (VND) is 1187.22,可知利用无风险利率对该债券折现出来的价值为1187.22,该价值就等于假设的期限相同Coupon rate相同国债的价格,通过该价格反求出来的YTM就是对应假设国债的YTM:
经过计算YTM为:2.92%
则Credit spread为:4.75% - 2.92% = 1.83%
“可知利用无风险利率对该债券折现出来的价值为1187.22,该价值就等于假设的期限相同Coupon rate相同国债的价格,通过该价格反求出来的YTM就是对应假设国债的YTM” 答案中的这句话不太理解,为什么无风险利率折现出来的价值就是国债的价格?
