问题如下:
Which of Avelyn’s comments regarding considerations in the bottom-up approach is most accurate?
选项:
A.Comment 1
B.Comment 2
C.Comment 3
解释:
C is correct.
When an issuer announces a new corporate bond issue, the issuer’s existing bonds often decline in value and their spreads widen. This dynamic is often explained by market participants as an effect of increased supply. A related reason is that because demand is not perfectly elastic, new issues are often given a price concession to entice borrowers to buy the new bonds. This price concession may result in all of an issuer’s existing bonds repricing based on the new issue’s relatively wider spread. A third reason is that more debt issuance may signal an increase in an issuer’s credit risk.
问题1,按照书上说的Callable bond has a higher OAS than a comparable non-callable bond.那是不是putable bond has a higher OAS than a comparable non-putable bond.
问题2,关于问题1这个知识点只是在bottom up知识点这儿是成立的。不和之前二级学的那个冲突对吗?二级中好像有个知识点说,如果一个债券oas小于z-spread,则为callable bond,如果大于,则为putable bond
