Which of the following active portfolios is expected to have the highest excess return versus the index if European economies are expected to experience an earlier and much stronger credit cycle recovery than the United States?
选项:
A.EUR HY 50.0%, EUR IG 25.0%, USD IG 12.5%, USD HY 12.5%
EUR IG 50.0%, EUR HY 25.0%, USD IG 12.5%, USD HY 12.5%
EUR HY 33.3%, US HY 33.3%, EUR IG 16.7%, USD IG 16.7%
解释:
A is correct. Given that high-yield spreads are expected to fall the most in an economic recovery, the manager should choose the portfolio with the highest percentage of EUR HY credit exposure.
The EUR IG and EUR HY allocations are denominated in euros, and the euro is expected to depreciate by 2% versus the US dollar over the next year.
