The effects of a non-parallel shift in the yield curve on Strategy 2 can be reduced by:
选项:
A.minimizing the convexity of the bond portfolio.
B.maximizing the cash flow yield of the bond portfolio.
C.minimizing the difference between liability duration and bond-portfolio duration.
解释:
A is correct.
Minimizing the convexity of the bond portfolio minimizes the dispersion of the bond portfolio. A non-parallel shift in the yield curve may result in changes in the bond portfolio’s cash flow yield. In summary, the characteristics of a bond portfolio structured to immunize a single liability are that it (1) has an initial market value that equals or exceeds the present value of the liability, (2) has a portfolio Macaulay duration that matches the liability’s due date, and (3) minimizes the portfolio convexity statistic.
2) has a portfolio Macaulay duration that matches the liability’s due date,
