问题如下:
A bond has a credit spread over the risk-free rate of 1.5%, a default probability per year of 0.6%, and an expected recovery rate of 30%. What is the expected return in excess of the risk-free rate?
解释:
The expected loss rate is 0.6% × (1 − 0.3) = 0.42%. The expected return in excess of the risk-free rate is therefore 1.5% − 0.42% or 1.08%.
