问题如下:
Which of the following bond tend to widen the credit spread most during a recession period?
选项:
A.high-yield bond with cyclical sector.
B.high-credit rating bond with cyclical sector.
C.high-yield bond with non-cyclical sector.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:信用补偿与经济周期
解析:当经济下滑时,公司债的credit spread增加,其中周期性行业发行的债券比非周期性行业的credit spread增加幅度更大,评级低的债券(例如投机级债券)比评级高的债券(例如投资级债券)的credit spread增加幅度更大。
老师请问,不是说经济好的时候就可以投high rate bond(垃圾债)获得高收益吗?经济差的时候就投high rated bond (高评级债)来抵御风险?现在题干问经济不好时,就不能从投high rated bond (高评级债)来抵御风险来出发了,毕竟投high rated bond (高评级债)的spread无论经济好或者差都比high rate bond(垃圾债)小,是这样理解吧?
