问一道题:NO.PZ2018062002000017

问题如下:

Convertible bonds is a kind of bond that can be converted into a predetermined amount of a company’s common stock. Tim, an analyst of a hedge fund, specializes in finding profit opportunities that convertible bonds are priced inefficiently relative to the underlying stock. The simultaneous purchase of the convertible bond and the short sale of the underlying common stock are be involved by the trading strategy. Which of the following statements is correct?

选项:

A.

The above process could be best described as hedging.

B.

The above process could be best described as arbitrage.

C.

The above process could be best described as securitization.

解释:

B is correct.

The above process could be best described as arbitrage, because the trading strategy involves buying and selling financial instruments. The instruments' value are closely related and have the different pricing in different markets.

选这个答案没有疑问

但这个策略的逻辑不太明白,可以这样理解吗:可以通过convertible bond行权以低于市场价的价格得到股票,所以与此同时可以做空该股票,随后用低于市场价的价格买入股票还回去之后,还可以赚到股票的价差?

1、不是的,这里考察的是你对套利交易的理解。arbitrage是基于一价定律的,相同的产品应该卖相同的价格。请抓住题干给出的这种策略的关键词“simultaneous”. 同时在不同时市场买卖定价不一致的资产来获取收益,这说的是套利。

2、具体说下本题,一价定律告诉我们可转债和其可以转换成的股票价格应该是一样的,如果两者价格不同就出现套利原则。比如可转债便宜,而股票卖的贵,那么就可以在市场中同时买可转债,卖出股票来套利。

可转债便宜,而股票卖的贵,那么就可以在市场中同时买可转债,卖出股票来套利。这句话理解的,不过题目说的是short sale不是sale,买入可转债,同时做空股票如何套利?

可转债便宜,那就买入可转债,马上换成股票。另一边股票卖的贵,那就借来股票卖出(short sale 卖空),然后把可转债转换的股票还回去,就可以赚得股票和可转债的差价。
