Given the following bond portfolios:
Which of the following statements is correct?
选项:
A.Portfolio 1 is a barbell portfolio. B.Portfolio 2 is a bullet portfolio. C.It is impossible for Portfolios 1 and 2 to have the same duration. D.Portfolio 2 will have greater convexity than Portfolio 1.解释:
Since Portfolio 2 has more long-term bonds than short-term bonds and since convexity is related to the square of maturity, Portfolio 2 will have greater convexity. The other statements are incorrect. Portfolio 1 is a bullet portfolio (concentrated in intermediate maturities), and Portfolio 2 is a barbell. It is possible for a bullet and a barbell to have the same duration. In fact, adding the duration contribution of both portfolios gives a duration value of 8.15.duration不一定一样,convexity没法判断吧
