If Puhuyesva’s focus is avoiding credit quality deterioration, which of the South American debt indexes should most likely be chosen on the basis of the information in Exhibit 2?
- RFS
- DS
- BSCA
Solution
C is correct. Compared with other weighting schemes, such as equally weighted, value-weighted indexes are tilted toward issuers with higher levels of debt. The more an issuer or sector borrows, the greater the tilt toward that issuer in the index. Leverage and creditworthiness are negatively correlated, so a value-weighted index will be more susceptible to credit quality deterioration than an equally weighted index will be. BSCA is an equally weighted index, whereas the others are value weighted.
