教材reading 14 example7 第2题
two callabe bonds with similar credit risk and final maturity ,which of the two bonds is more likely to be called?
答案是:the lower OAS
根据咱们老师的视频里对OAS的讲解,OAS剔除了option 不利影响的spread补偿,因此callable bond 的OAS 小于 Z-spread ...
我对答案的理解是,更低的OAS最能反映除option影响之外的其他因素导致的利率的下行,因此最有可能被called
但教材的解释:OAS incorporates a volatility assumption to account for the value of bond option,while the z-spread asumes zero volatility and therefore does not capture the value of bond options.这句话好像又跟老师解释的相反了
