问题如下:
Compared to a long position in Portfolio B, which of the following is correct if the same amount of money is invested in a short position in Portfolio C?
选项:
A.A short position in Portfolio C can increase the expected return.
B.A long position in Portfolio B can reduce the inflation risk exposure.
C.A short position in Portfolio C can reduce the GDP growth risk exposure.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:factor sensitivity
解析:Portfolio C的inflation factor sensitivity为0,GDP growth factor sensitivity为1.5。因此short Portfolio C会减少原有的GDP growth risk exposure,但对inflation没有影响。而Portfolio B的inflation factor sensitivity为0.2,GDP growth risk exposure为2,long Portfolio B 将同时增加GDP growth和inflation的risk exposure。无法判断预期收益率是否会增加。
这道题还是不是很懂。factor sensitivity 为什么是risk exposure呢?不是收益对这个风险因子的敏感程度吗?
