问题如下:

Serena is a risk management specialist with Liability Protection Advisors. Trey, CFO of Kiest Manufacturing, enlists Serena’s help with three projects.

The first project is to defease some of Kiest’s existing fixed-rate bonds that are maturing in each of the next three years. The bonds have no call or put provisions and pay interest annually. Exhibit 1 presents the payment schedule for the bonds.


The second project for Serena is to help Trey immunize a $20 million portfolio of liabilities. The liabilities range from 3.00 years to 8.50 years with a Macaulay duration of 5.34 years, cash flow yield of 3.25%, portfolio convexity of 33.05, and basis point value (BPV) of $10,505. Serena suggested employing a duration-matching strategy using one of the three AAA rated bond portfolios presented in Exhibit 2.



Serena explains to Trey that the underlying duration-matching strategy is based on the following three assumptions.

1. Yield curve shifts in the future will be parallel.

2. Bond types and quality will closely match those of the liabilities.

3. The portfolio will be rebalanced by buying or selling bonds rather than using derivatives.

The third project for Serena is to make a significant direct investment in broadly diversified global bonds for Kiest’s pension plan. Kiest has a young workforce, and thus, the plan has a long-term investment horizon. Trey needs Serena’s help to select a benchmark index that is appropriate for Kiest’s young workforce. Serena discusses three benchmark candidates, presented in Exhibit 3

With the benchmark selected, Trey provides guidelines to Serena directing her to (1) use the most cost-effective method to track the benchmark and (2) provide low tracking error.

After providing Trey with advice on direct investment, Serena offered him additional information on alternative indirect investment strategies using (1) bond mutual funds, (2) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and (3) total return swaps.

Trey expresses interest in using bond mutual funds rather than the other strategies for the following reasons.

1. Reason 1: Total return swaps have much higher transaction costs and initial cash outlay than bond mutual funds.

2. Reason 2: Unlike bond mutual funds, bond ETFs can trade at discounts to their underlying indexes, and those discounts can persist.

3. Reason 3: Bond mutual funds can be traded throughout the day at the net asset value of the underlying bonds.


Which of Trey’s reasons for choosing bond mutual funds as an investment vehicle is correct?

选项:

A.

Reason 1

B.

Reason 2

C.

Reason 3

解释:

B is correct. Although a significant spread between the market price of the underlying fixed-income securities portfolio and an ETF’s NAV should drive an authorized participant to engage in arbitrage, many fixed-income securities are either thinly traded or not traded at all. This situation might allow such a divergence to persist.

请老师解答:

  1. open-ended Mutual fund;
  2. close-ended Mutual fund;
  3. ETF


--到底谁的的liquidity 更好?


-- 1和2到底能不能intraday交易?


谢谢!

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


ETF的流动性最好,因为可以intraday交易

mutual fund都不能intraday交易,open end mutual fund的流动性好于close end mutual fund。

虽然现在很辛苦,但努力过的感觉真的很好,加油!

This situation might allow suavergento persist. 理由1 和理由2都是陈述swap和etf ,不是陈述为什么选择mutufun的理由啊,只有理由3是说了mutufun感觉做题的时候收到了问法的干扰,会选理由3.而且对于throughout这个单词如果稍微理解偏差(如果没理解成intray的话)就不觉得说的不对。
