问题如下:
Which portfolio in Exhibit 2 fails to meet the requirements to achieve immunization for multiple liabilities?
选项:
A.Portfolio A
B.Portfolio B
C.Portfolio C
解释:
A is correct.
The two requirements to achieve immunization for multiple liabilities are for the money duration (or BPV) of the asset and liability to match and for the asset convexity to exceed the convexity of the liability. Although all three portfolios have similar BPVs, Portfolio A is the only portfolio to have a lower convexity than that of the liability portfolio (31.98, versus 33.05 for the $20 million liability portfolio), and thus, it fails to meet one of the two requirements needed for immunization.
这道题为什么不能选portfolio C呢?不是说要在asset convexity 大于liability convexity的基础上选一个min convexity的吗?C虽然符合了asset convexity 大于liability convexity,但是大太多了,也不能算meet requirement吧?
