问题如下:
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?
选项:
A. RFS
B. DS
C. BSCA
解释:
SolutionC 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.
A is incorrect because RFS is a value-weighted index.
B is incorrect because DS is a value-weighted index.
這題可以通過判斷未來credit spread升高,要降低duration來選擇最小duration的portfolio 嗎?
