问题如下:
Matthew, a junior analyst, manages a portfolio W. The portfolio is fully invested in US Treasuries. Matthew intends to decrease the portfolio’s modified duration to 3.00.
Exhibit 1 presents selected data on Portfolio W, and the relevant Treasury futures contract, and the cheapest-to deliver (CTD) bond.
Based on Exhibit 1, to achieve Matthew’s objective, the number of Treasury futures contracts Matthew should sell is closest to:
选项:
A.440
B.441
C.398
解释:
B is correct
BPVT =MDurT × 0.0001 × MVP = 3×0.0001×120,349,000 = 36,104.70
Matthew should sell 441 Treasury bond futures contracts.
中文解析:
本题考察的是利用期货合约调节组合的久期,直接带入上述公式计算即可。注意最后合约份数需要四舍五入取整数,负号代表卖出期货合约。
老师,您好!
题中给出的128.88是债券期货的BPV吗?还是债券CTD的BPV?
如果是债权期货的BPV,那么用债券期货调整债券组合的久期(或BPV)时,计算需要多少份期货合约的计算公式应该如下:
Nf = (BPV_T - BPV_P) / BPV_f,如果题目中的128.88是债券期货的合约,则代入计算得到:(36104.7-111924.57) / 128.88 = -588.3。
如果128.88是CTD债券的BPV, 则需要通过conversion factor转换计算对应债券期货的BPV_f = BPV_ctd / CF,那么计算需要多少份期货合约的计算公式应该如下:
Nf = (BPV_T - BPV_P) / (BPV_ctd / CF) = -441.22。
题目中显然是把128.88当做CTD的BPV来处理的。但是128.88 = 143200 * 9 * 0.0001得到的,即应该是债券期货的BPV。那么到底该怎么理解呢?麻烦老师解释一下,谢谢!
