reason3 为啥不对?

NO.PZ2019103001000020

问题如下:

After providing Hudgens with advice on direct investment, Soto offered him additional information on alternative indirect investment strategies using (1) bond mutual funds, (2) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and (3) total return swaps. Hudgens expresses interest in using bond mutual funds rather than the other strategies for the following reasons.

Reason 1:Total return swaps have much higher transaction costs and initial cash outlay than bond mutual funds.

Reason 2:Unlike bond mutual funds, bond ETFs can trade at discounts to their underlying indexes, and those discounts can persist.

Reason 3:Bond mutual funds can be traded throughout the day at the net asset value of the underlying bonds

Which of Hudgens’s reasons for choosing bond mutual funds as an investment vehicle is correct?

选项:

A.

Reason 1

B.

Reason 2

C.

Reason 3

解释:

B is correct.

Although a significant spread between the market price of the underlying fixed-income securities portfolio and an ETF’s NAV should drive an authorized participant to engage in arbitrage, many fixed-income securities are either thinly traded or not traded at all. This situation might allow such a divergence to persist.

John Hull 写过一本书,叫期权期货及其他衍生品,这本书很好,我读了3遍。其中有段讲FUND的,他原文是Unlike open-end fund shares, shares of closed-end funds can be bought and sold at any time of day; 所以我第一反应看到reason 3 我觉得是对的,另外关于reason2 ,麻烦老师帮我分析下reason2 在说什么

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


你说的这句话是没错的,开放式基金在日间可以交易份额,比如ETF,封闭式基金只能在日终以后交易,比如mutual fund。

那么看reason 3 3 错就错在mutual fund是closed end fund,只能在日终后交易。

reason2 是正确的,ETF有市场价格和NAV,NAV是合理价值,可以理解为value,ETF的市场价格是围绕value上下波动,二者的差额就是ETF参与者(AP)套利的空间。对于股票ETF来说,ETF price和value的差额不可持续,一般稍纵即逝,但对于债券来说,由于债券流动性差,所以债券ETF的price和value之间的差可能会persisit,如果price < value(NAV),就是reason2说的discount to their underlying indexes,所以,reason 2是正确的。
