为啥spot rate=ytm

问题如下：

Wang is a fixed-income analyst in a wealth management firm. He expects the yield curve will remain stable over the next 12 months. Suppose the investment horizon is 1-year and there are two strategies at the moment. The first one is to apply buy and hold strategy using the government bonds and the second is to buy a 2-year government bond and invest for 1-year. The relevant information is shown below:

According to the information above, what is the implied forward rate F(1,1)?

选项：

3.36%

3.84%

3.11%

解释：

B is correct

考点：使用Riding the yield curve策略时收益率曲线的理解

解析：当前状态下，1年期债券的YTM是2.88%，2年期债券的YTM是3.36%，则F(1,1)等于：

(1+2.88%)[1+F(1,1)]=(1+3.36%)^2

F(1,1)=3.84%
