Robinson also considers the use of derivatives to manage interest rate risk. This would be a new strategy for Bayside. Robinson determines the number of bond futures needed to immunize the overall interest rate risk exposure of the company. The basis point value (BPV) for the asset portfolio is 96,000, while the liability portfolio has a BPV of 44,000. To facilitate her analysis, Robinson compiles the additional information related to bond futures shown in Exhibit 1.
The number of five-year note futures contracts required to be sold in order to rebalance the immunizing portfolio is closest to (2020 mock PM):
选项:
A.529 contracts.
969 contracts.
1101 contracts.
解释:
With derivative overlay strategies, in order to calculate the number of contracts needed, the futures BPV must be adjusted to reflect the conversion factor:
Futures BPV = Note BPV / Conversion Factor
47.22/0.88 = 53.66
Number of contracts = (Asset BPV – Liability BPV) / Futures BPV
(96,000 – 44,000)/53.66 = 969
一直很难区分哪个是ctd,哪个是futures,请老师讲解一下,谢谢。
