问一道题: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.

reason 1为什么不对?

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


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

错在这里:Total return swaps...Intial cash outlay 比 Bond mutual funds高


这里的知识点是:通过其他方式获得债券指数被动投资

我们买入债券基金(Bond mutual funds)可以获得债券指数头寸;

通过Total return swap,和对手方互换收益,也可以获得债券指数头寸:例如,我们给对手方支付一个Equity收益,对手方支付给我们债券指数的收益,这就相当于我们投资了债券指数,被动地投资了债券指数。

对于Bond mutual funds:期初投资者需要实打实的掏钱买入基金;

对于Total return swap,我们只需要交换期间的收益即可,签订Swap合约期初无需投入资金。

所以Reason 1他说Total return swap有更高的Initial cash outflow错误。


关于Higher transaction costs这点其实也是模糊的。我们没有明确的结论说哪个的交易成本更高。
