问题如下:
A US-based fixed-income portfolio manager is examining unhedged investments in Thai baht (THB) zero-coupon government bonds issued in Thailand and is considering two investment strategies:
THB proceeds under each strategy will be converted into USD at the end of the 1-year
investment horizon. The manager expects a stable THB yield curve and that THB will
appreciate by 1.5% relative to USD.
The following information is used to analyze
these two investment strategies:
Which of the following statements best describes how the expected total return results would change if THB yields were to rise significantly over the investment horizon?
选项:
A.Both the Buy-and-Hold and Yield Curve Rolldown expected portfolio returns
would increase due to higher THB yields.
Both the Buy-and-Hold and Yield Curve Rolldown expected portfolio returns would decrease due to higher THB yields.
The Buy-and-Hold expected portfolio returns would be unchanged and the Yield Curve Rolldown expected portfolio returns would decrease due to the rise in yields.
解释:
C is correct.
In a higher THB yield
scenario in one year, the Yield Curve Rolldown
expected return would fall since a higher THB yield-to-maturity in
one year would reduce
the price at which the investor could sell the 1-year zero in one year.
The Buy-and-Hold portfolio return will be unaffected since the 1-year bond matures at the end of the investment horizon.
buy and hold的投资期是1年,且债券maturity也是一年,因为no active trading 所以期间不会交易,拿到的是到期的ytm,所以不会收到收益率曲线变动的影响;
rolling down the yield curve的投资期是2年所以会受到投资期间利率变动的影响?
