问题如下:
Which of the following statements about basis risk is correct?
Statement 1: Basis risk increases when futures contracts are rolled over, or delivery date is before maturity date.
Statement 2: A portfolio manager decides to hedge against a two-year T-bond with the purchase of Treasury bill futures,he may be exposed to basis risk.
选项:
A. Statement 1 only.
B. Statement 2 only.
C. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are correct.
D. Neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Basis risk.
解析:
当期货合约的到期日和现货的到期日不相同时,会增加基差风险。statement 1正确。
用短期国债期货去对冲2年期国债也会导致基差风险,因为当利率变化时,二者的价格变化可能会不同步。statement 2 正确。
题目只说了Treasury bill futures 没说短期长期吧
