解析Since Portfolio 2 has more long-term bonds than short-term bonds and since convexity is related to the square of maturity, Portfolio 2 will have greater convexity. The other statements are incorrect. Portfolio 1 is a bullet portfolio (concentrated in intermediate maturities), and Portfolio 2 is a barbell. It is possible for a bullet and a barbell to have the same duration. In fact, adding the duration contribution of both portfolios gives a duration value of 8.15.
