问题如下:
If the interest rate is expected to increase, which of the following provision is most likely to benefit the bondholders?
选项:
A.a sinking fund provision
B.a call provision
C.a put provision
解释:
C is correct.
If interest rates rise, bondholders can sell the bond back to the issuer and get cash. The proceeds can be reinvested at a higher interest rate.
考点:含权债券
解析:putable bond,即可回售债券。当利率上升的时候,putable bond的债券持有人以提前约定好的put price回售给发行人,所以putable bond的价格跌不下去,会有一个价格下限。putable bond在利率上升的时候对债券持有人有利,故C选项正确。
利率上升,代表债券的价格上升,为什么还要以约定更底的价格卖回给发行人?
