问一道题:NO.PZ2016022702000015

问题如下:

A four-year corporate bond with a 7% coupon has a Z-spread of 200 bps. Assume a flat yield curve with an interest rate for all maturities of 5% and annual compounding. The bond will most likely sell:

选项:

A.

close to par.

B.

at a premium to par.

C.

at a discount to par.

解释:

A is correct.

The 200bps Z-spread can be added to the 5% rates from the yield curve to price the bond. The resulting 7% discount rate will be the same for all of the bond's cash-flows, since the yield curve is flat. A 7% coupon bond yielding 7% will be priced at par.

请问这道题是不是说的不是很清楚,没有说是benchmark的yield curve,如果5%是bond本身的yield rate就不需要加z spread了?

同学你好:

这道题目确实可以表述的更精准一点,比方说清楚yield curve指的就是spot curve。但这个yield curve一般来说就是benchmark curve,否则给我们的Z-spread就多余了。这边我们只要理解原理就可以了,考试的时候,题目的表述一定会更加精准,不会在这种细节上confuse我们。
