问题如下:
Which of the tranches of a collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) will have the lowest prepayment risk?
选项:
A. A PAC tranches
B. An inverse floating-rate tranche
C. A support tranche
解释:
A is correct.
PAC tranches have protection against both extension risk and contraction risk, providing two-sided prepayment protection.
Support tranches expose investors to the highest level of prepayment risk and its promised interest rate is higher than the PAC tranche.
Because the inverse floater pays a lower rate when interest rates go up, thus amplifying interest rate risk.
Planned amortization class (PAC) tranches have limited (but not complete) protection against both extension risk and contraction risk. This protection is provided by the support tranches. 这道题目的答案不理解
