问题如下：

(1) Select the most appropriate credit portfolio positioning strategy to capitalize on an expected steepening of the investment-grade credit spread curve.

选项：

A.

Sell protection on the 10-year CDX IG index and purchase protection on the 5-year CDX IG index using contracts of equal notional value.

B.

Sell protection on the 10-year CDX IG index and purchase protection on the 5-year CDX IG index using a contract with a notional amount equal to 1.82 times that of the 10-year contract.

C.

Buy protection on the 10-year CDX IG index and sell protection on the 5-year CDX IG index using a contract with a notional amount equal to 1.82 times that of the 10-year contract.

解释：

C is correct. The investor benefits from a short risk (as protection buyer) on the 10-year CDX IG index and long risk (as protection seller) on the 5-year CDX IG index, duration matching the notional value by increasing 5-year notional 1.82 times (=8.9/4.9) versus the 10-year.

这个题干看不出来。


题干仅仅说了是在IG credit curve steepening时做策略。看到IG credit curve steepening，能想到的是短期的credit risk将要下降，长期的credit risk将要上升，那盈利的策略可以是多个：

策略1：Buy CDS Protection on 长期；

策略2：Sell CDS protection on 短期；

策略3：组合Buy CDS Protection on 长期 and Sell CDS protection on 短期，甚至都不用做duration-netural也可以在IG credit curve steepening下盈利。


只是说，如果投资者想要避免策略受到credit curve平行移动的影响，投资者想要把Long/short策略聚焦在短期与长期credit spread的相对变化上，如【Buy CDS Protection on 长期】就是为了赚到长期credit spread上升的收益，【Sell CDS protection on 短期】就是为了赚到短期Credit spread下降的收益，不想让组合受到Credit spread平行移动的影响。那此时可以做一个duration-neutral。但Duration-netural不是必须的！

只有题干说，策略想要避免credit spread curve平行移动的影响，此时才要做duration-neutral；或者题干说要构建一个duration-neutral，也才做duration-neutral。


这道题只能是从选项看到他的策略是duration-neutral，然后我们才知道是要做一个CDS Duration-neutral的strategy。那就在选项里找可以在steepening IG credit curve下盈利的策略。


因为这道题是一道原版书的课后题，题目肯定是质量高的，需要结合选项来直接判断。
