问题如下:
Investors seeking some general protection against a poor economy are most likely to select a:
选项:
A.deferred coupon bond.
B.credit-linked coupon bond.
C.payment-in-kind coupon bond.
解释:
B is correct.
A credit-linked coupon bond has a coupon that changes when the bond’s credit rating changes. Because credit ratings tend to decline the most during recessions, credit-linked coupon bonds may thus provide some general protection against a poor economy by offering increased coupon payments when credit ratings decline.
考点:credit-linked coupon bond
解析:credit-linked指的是coupon rate会随着信用质量的改变而改变。当信用质量下滑,风险更高,coupon rate随之而增加。对于这种债券的投资者来说,这种债券可以给我们提供一个由于信用质量下滑带来风险的保护。故选项B正确。
B确实可以,但A的票息晚支付,在经济不好的情况下,能够降低在投资风险(经济不好,无风险收益率降低),所以A也许也不错?
