问题如下:
Based on Exhibit 1, the number of Treasury futures contracts Whitacre should
sell to achieve Monetize’s objective with respect to Portfolio A is closest to:
选项:
A.
490.
B.
518.
C.
676.
解释:
A is correct.
Monetize wants to reduce Portfolio A’s modified duration to a
target of 3.10. BPVT is calculated as follows:
The basis point value of Portfolio A (BPVP) is $130,342.94, and the basis point
value of the cheapest-to-deliver bond (BPVCTD) is $127.05 with a conversion
factor of 0.72382. The basis point value hedge ratio (BPVHR), which provides
the number of futures contracts needed, is then calculated as follows:
Thus, to decrease the modified duration of Portfolio A to 3.10, Whitacre should
sell 490 Treasury bond futures contracts
中文解析:
本题考察的是使用债券期货合约调节组合的duration。
根据题干信息可知,当前的目标duration是3.1,据此可以计算出BPVT =$44,402.54
然后仍然带入公式:
计算结果为-489.613,约等于490份,负号代表short。
我是把bpv拆成mdur和marketvalue算的,算下来数量级不一样但是选对了,请问market value of futures是不是需要乘以contract size呢
