问题如下:
Raymond, a US analyst, is managing a fund with EUR-denominated assets. The USD/EUR spot rate is 1.1338, one-year forward exchange rate is 1.1369, while Raymond forecasts the expected spot rate is 1.1315. Assume the fund performance is measured in USD, the roll yield is:
选项:
A.0.27%
B.-0.27%
C.-0.20%
解释:
A is correct.
考点:roll yield
解析:目前Raymond的资产是以欧元来计价的,将来要卖欧元换美元,因此持有的远期合约是卖欧元。当前有forward premium(forward exchange rate >spot rate),所以可以定性的判断出Roll yield为正。当然也可以计算出来,Roll yield=(1.1369-1.1338)/1.1338=0.27%。
老师好!
以后遇到类似的题,是否可以这样认为?
EUR-denominated assets,就是说EUR是FC;
或者:measured in USD,就是说USD是DC
谢谢
