Which of the following is a correct statement for the manager to present to the class?

C.When financing a purchase of securities, financial institutions often sell the repo to avoid putting up full purchase price for the securities.
D.Money market mutual funds tend to enter into a repo to invest short-term liquid instruments.
解释:
中文解析:
C是正确的。卖出repo相当于进入一份repo协议,证券先被卖出,待合约到期后再购回。
A是错误的。逆向repo应当是融券的。
B是错误的。追保通知也是很常见的。
D是错误的。货币市场基金进入逆向repo来投资于短期证券。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C is correct. Selling the repo is the same as entering into a repo agreement, where the security is sold and bought back later.
A is incorrect. A reverse repo should be made to borrow the bond.
B is incorrect. Margin calls are also common.
D is incorrect. Money market mutual funds enter into reverse repo agreements to invest in short-term instruments.
When financing a purchase of securities, financial institutions often sell the repo to avoid putting up full purchase price for the securities.
进入repo的一方,是为了融资去购买债券,因此他们把这个债券作为抵押物去做回购。
说白了就是,借钱买债券?实务中买债券,没足够的现金也能交割么...?没交割又如何拿去抵押..?真的好困惑啊......
而且感觉c选项后半部分描述地特别像“逆向回购”一方啊,因为他们可以折价买债券啊......
