问一道题:NO.PZ2018120301000064

问题如下:

Wang, a junior analyst in a wealth management firm, made the following statements about the differences between high-yield bond markets and the investment-grade bond markets:

Statement 1: Both high-yield bonds and investment-grade bonds are quoted as spreads over the benchmark government bonds.

Statement 2: compared with the high-yield bond, bid-ask spread for the investment-grade bonds are often lower.

Statement 3: for the high-yield bonds, the interest rate sensitivity is lower than that of the investment-grade bonds.

According to the information above, which of the following is correct?

选项:

A.

Statement 1 and statement 2 are correct.

B.

Statement 2 and statement 3 are correct.

C.

All the statements are correct.

解释:

B is correct.

考点:High-yield bond和Investment-grade相关概念

解析:三个Statements中,第一个错误,Investment-grade bond的报价是基于benchmark的Spread,而对于High-yield bond报价通常是价格。

interest rate sensitive 是什么?为什么都没有在讲义里见过,可以说一下在讲义哪里嘛?

同学你好,

 

 

可以参考讲义144页,这里说的interest rate sensitivity指的是债券对于interest rate变化的敏感程度。

 

首先我们知道corporate bond的利率=市场基准利率+credit spread

对于investment grade债券来说,它的credit spread小,假设市场基准利率变高,credit spread下降的带来的影响程度不足以offset市场基准利率上升带来的影响,所以整体corporate bond的利率还是上涨。

但是对于high yield债券来说,它的credit spread大,假设市场基准利率变高,credit spread下降的带来的影响程度占大比例,所以可以offset更大部分市场基准利率上升带来的影响,所以整体corporate bond的利率上涨幅度没有investment grade bond那么多。

 

由此可以看出来,high yield债券受到市场基准利率的变化程度小,因为会有credit spread offset的部分。

 

希望对你有帮助哦~
