B选项为什么不对

* 问题详情,请 查看题干

问题如下:

Based on Edgarton’s expectation for the yield curve over the next 12 months, the Fund’s return relative to the benchmark would most likely increase by:

选项:

A.

riding the yield curve.

B.

implementing a barbell structure.

C.

shortening the portfolio duration relative to the benchmark.

解释:

C is correct.

If interest rates rise and the yield curve steepens as Edgarton expects, then shortening the Fund’s duration from a neutral position to one that is shorter than the benchmark will improve the portfolio’s return relative to the benchmark. This duration management strategy will avoid losses from long-term interest rate increases.

short a barbell不是收益更大吗?

同学你好!

首先这道题的B选项只是Implementing a barbell structure,并没有说是short a barbell,所以并不知道它有没有起到缩短duration的效果

其次,这道大题刚开始的一段话中,有一句:The fund's mandate allow its duration to fluctuate +/- 0.3 per year relative to its benchmark duration. 如果通过short barbell(1年和30年),那么duration就被完全对冲掉了。这样也就违背了题目中的条件。
