问题如下:
Anactive portfolio manager observes the following market information related toan outstandingcorporate bond and two on-the-run government bonds that pay annual coupons:
The portfolio manager also observes 10-year and 20-year swapspreads of 0.20% and 0.25%, respectively.
Estimate the corporate bond’s percentage price change if thegovernment yield curve steepens, assuming a 0.20% increase in the 20-year YTM and no change to the 10-year government YTM or corporate G-spread.
选项:
A.
–0.40%
B.
0.40%
C.
–0.04%
解释:
A is correct. The 20 bp increase in the 20-yeargovernment YTM causes the 12-year interpolated government YTM to rise 4 bps to 1.98%(or (80% × 1.85%) + (20% × 2.50%)).
Thecorporate bond percentage price change can be estimated based on the YTM changemultiplied by modified duration (–ModDur ×ΔYield) familiar from earlier lessons. This percentage price change can becalculated as –0.4% (=–9.99 × 0.04%).
解析第一步20Y改变之后计算12Y插值法1.98我理解 第二步哪里来的0.4?是默认已经算了原来的12Y是1.94所以得出的差额吗? 为什么不能减原来的12Y的yield 2.8?
