选项:

B.Duration provides a linear estimate of the percentage price changes.
C.The true relationship between the bond price and the yield-to-maturity is nonlinear.
D.Duration applies to only small changes in yield.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:Interest Rate Risk
解析:这道题目考察的是久期的缺点。BCD均是久期的缺点。A说当收益率变动比较大的时候,久期也是适合的。这是不正确的。久期的缺点是,只适合收益率变动比较小的情况。
对于答案解析有疑问,收益率变动较大的时候久期是不准的,不能用久期去衡量,应该说A选项谈不上Disadvantage因为本身说法就是错的。
