问题如下:
A $100 million portfolio is allocated 60% to bonds and 40% to stocks. The bond portion is allocated 80% to government bonds and 20% to corporate bonds. The stocks portion is allocated 80% to domestic stocks and 20% to international stocks. The manager wants to change the total portfolio to 70% to bonds and 30% to stocks and remain the same allocation within stocks portion and bond portions. Which swap is least likely to be used to achieve the target?
选项:
A. receive return on government bonds on $8 million, pay return on domestic stock on $8 million
B. receive return on corporate bonds on $2 million, pay return on international stock on $2 million
C. receive return on corporate bonds on $8 million, pay return on international stock on $8 million
解释:
C is correct.
考点:equity swap
解析:
现在有60M投资于债券,40M投资于股票。
在60M的债券中,有48M投资于government bonds,12M投资于corporate bonds。
在40M的股票中,有32M投资于domestic stock,8M投资于international stocks。
目标是:70M投资于债券,30M投资股票。
在70M的债券中,有56M投资于government bonds,14M投资于corporate bonds。
在30M的股票中,有24M投资于domestic stock,6M投资于international stocks。
因此,总的来说,应该:
增加10M债券,其中government bonds增加8M,corporate bonds增加2M。
减少10M股票,其中domestic stock减少8M,international stocks减少2M。
所以应该进入两个互换合约,
一个是NP为8M,receive return on government bonds, pay return on domestic stock
另一个是NP为2M,receive return on corporate bonds, pay return on international stock
题目问的是最不可能的一项,所以选C。
老师: 您好。这题有些不懂,既然是增加10M债券,意味着通过swap换出equity,换入bond,那么return应该相反呀。即pay return of bond,receive return of stock。我的理解有何问题,谢谢。
