问题如下:
Which of the following statements best describes a credit curve roll-down strategy?
选项:
A.Returns from a credit curve roll-down strategy can be estimated by
combining the incremental coupon from a longer maturity corporate bond with price appreciation due to the passage of time.
A synthetic credit curve roll-down strategy involves purchasing protection using a single-name CDS contract for a longer maturity.
A credit curve roll-down strategy is expected to generate a positive return if the credit spread curve is upward sloping.
解释:
C is correct. A credit curve roll-down strategy will generate positive return only under an upward-sloping credit spread curve.
As for A, the benchmark yield changes must be separated from changes due to credit spreads, and under B, a synthetic credit roll-down strategy involves selling protection using a single-name CDS contract for a longer maturity.
所以,A句话的表述是有问题的,正确的表示是加上assuming flat benchmark yield curve这句话。
还是没搞清楚怎么判断收益曲线stable:stable曲线不变吧?是指上倾还是水平?什么时候曲线stable时指的是曲线水平flat? 收益曲线不变代表Duration不变吗?可否请老师详细解释一下
