A portfolio manager invests $100 million in a 5-year inverse floater paying 18% – 2 × LIBOR. Assume that the modified duration of a 6% 5-year bond is 4.5 years, and the inverse floater is just before a reset day. The worst change in yields at the 95% level over a month is 0.66%. What is the VaR of this inverse floater at the 95% level over a month?
选项:
A.$3.0 million B.$5.9 million C.$8.9 million D.$10.5 million解释:
18% – 2 × L = 3 × 6% – 2 × L
(18% – 2 × L) + (2 × L) = 3 × 6%
DIF = 3 × D6% = 3 × 4.5 = 13.5
VARIF = D × P (worst change in yields) = 13.5 × 100million × 0.66% = 8.91million
