问一道题:NO.PZ2020011901000039

问题如下:

Consider two bonds. One is a CAT bond where there is no default risk. The other is a regular corporate bond. An analysis has shown that the expected loss from default risks on the corporate bond is the same as the expected loss from insurance claims on the CAT bond. The bonds have the same coupon and the same price. Which bond would be most attractive to a fund manager with an exist-ing portfolio of corporate bonds?

选项:

A.

The bonds are likely to be equally attractive

B.

The CAT bond is likely to be more attractive

C.

The corporate bond is likely to be more attractive

D.

Any of A, B, and C could be true.

解释:

B. The CAT bond is likely to be more attractive because it offers better diversification benefits. The corporate bond’s return will be somewhat correlated with the return on market indices. The CAT bond has the advantage that its return is almost entirely uncorrelated with the return on market indices.

嗨,从没放弃的小努力你好:


巨灾债券是指债券公开发行后,未来债券本金及债息的偿还与否,完全根据巨灾损失发生情况而定。即买卖双方通过资本市场债券发行的方式,一方支付债券本金作为债券发行的承购,另一方则约定按期支付高额的债息给另一方,并根据未来巨灾损失发生与否,作为后续付息与否及期末债券清偿与否的根据。

题目里说了公司债违约的预期损失=预期的发生灾难时投资CAT bond少获得的钱,因此,这两个债券在收益方面的数学期望是相同的。

而因为CAT bond的收益率与金融市场、大盘指数的收益率不怎么具有相关性,因此把CAT bond加入投资组合,可以产生分散化的效果。
