问题如下:
Raymond, a US analyst, is managing a fund with EUR-denominated assets. The USD/EUR spot rate is 1.1338, one-year forward exchange rate is 1.1369, while Raymond forecasts the expected spot rate is 1.1315. Assume the fund performance is measured in USD, the roll yield is:
选项:
A.0.27%
B.-0.27%
C.-0.20%
解释:
A is correct.
考点:roll yield
解析:“Assume the fund performance is measured in USD”的意思是:衡量业绩使用的是USD,即本币是USD。
目前Raymond持有外币EUR计价的资产,将来要卖EUR,因此是short EUR forward。
short 外币EUR forward的roll yield
= F-S/S=(1.1369-1.1338)/1.1338=0.27%
题目并没有说short 还是 long fwd, 所以ROLL YIELD 的正负 怎么判断啊?
或者是说分子应该F-S 还是S-F?
