问题如下:
Margit asks Cécile to analyze liability-based mandates for a meeting with Villash Foundation. Villash Foundation is a tax-exempt client. Prior to the meeting, Cécile identifies what she considers to be two key features of a liability-based mandate.
Is Cécile correct with respect to key
features of liability-based mandates?
选项:
A.Yes
No, only Feature 1 is correct
No, only Feature 2 is correct
解释:
A is correct. Liability-based mandates are investments that take an investor’s future obligations into consideration. Liability-based mandates are managed to match expected liability payments with future projected cash inflows. These types of mandates are structured in a way to ensure that a liability or a stream of liabilities can be covered and that any risk of shortfalls or deficient cash inflows for a company is minimized.
这道题一眼就能选出正确答案,但是再想一下就选错了,因为关注点偏向了cash上,就联想到duration是使得PV(asset)=PV(liability),Duration(Asset)=Duration(Liability), 这两个条件都没有提到cash flow match的问题啊,如果是match cash flow那不完全就是cash flow matching吗,连名字都是一模一样,就越想越错了,请老师点拨下,我哪里想的不对,谢谢~
