问题如下:
Consider two bonds that are identical except for their coupon rates. The bond that will have the highest interest rate risk most likely has the:
选项:
A.lowest coupon rate.
B.coupon rate closest to its market yield.
C.highest coupon rate.
解释:
A is correct. A lower coupon rate means that more of the bond’s value comes from repayment of face value, which occurs at the end of the bond’s life.
B is incorrect because the relationship between the coupon rate and the yield of a bond affect the relationship between the price and face value of the bond, not its interest rate risk.
C is incorrect because a higher coupon rate means that more of the bond’s value comes from coupon payments, which occur earlier in a bond’s life.
考点:interest rate risk
解析:其他条件均相同的情况下,债券coupon rate越高,利率风险越小。债券coupon rate越低,利率风险越大。故选项A正确。
