问题如下:
Which of the following statements about credit ratings is most accurate?
选项:
A.Credit ratings can migrate over time.
B.Changes in bond credit ratings precede changes in bond prices.
C.Credit ratings are focused on expected loss rather than risk of default.
解释:
A is correct.
Credit migration is the risk that a bond issuer’s creditworthiness deteriorates, or migrates lower. Over time, credit ratings can migrate significantly from what they were at the time a bond was issued. An investor should not assume that an issuer’s credit rating will remain the same from the time of purchase through the entire holding period.
看到了老师原来的回答
“用Over time 没有问题,这就是原版书上的原句。
A就是表示:随着时间推移,评级发生变动
关于B选项,债券评级会影响到债券价格,同样是对债券的信息作出调整,评级是要滞后于价格反应的。
刚好之前回答了这问,可以参考:
债券的价格和收益率,每天会通过市场交易产生一个新的数,这个价反映当下的实时的信息,市场对债券的即时信息会反映在债券的价格和收益率里。债券信用质量的变化,会影响到每天的交易价格,和Yield。
而评级公司对债券的评级只是隔期更新,并不是每天实时更新。
因此,一旦债券的信用质量发生变化,价格的变动要先于评级的变动。
这就是B说的,评级公司的评级的变动要滞后于市场价格的变动”
A既然说了Over time,老师说这不是随时,只是可以推移。
B我不能理解,因为B选项里没说Overtime,那么老师是如何断定B选项的意思一定是随时变动反映。而不是:能体现变化,只不过是有些滞后的体现?滞后体现也是体现啊。
