- YTM涵義:YTM是多期Spot Rate的Weighted Average
- FIxed Income策略:
- 第一種是交易Forward contract來鎖定未來期限的收益率荠呐;
- 第二種是riding the yield curve/ rolling down the yield curve, 假設是yield curve upwarding,操作是持有maturity大于investment horizon的bond
- Bootstrapping是已知Par Rate Curve倒推Spot Rate Curve的方法
- Swap Rate 等于Par Rate; Swap優(yōu)點是流動性好(國債只有on-the-run的流動性好),Maturity彈性(美國國債只有11個期限),有default risk就與公司債相同(所以是好的benchmark)棠枉,沒有管制
- 各種信用利差
- Swap Spread = Swap Rate - Treasury Yield(on-the-run),風險補償 Default risk, Liquidity risk
- I-Spread = Bond Rate - Swap Rate, 風險補償Credit, Liquidity Risk亩鬼,期限采用linear interpolation
- Z-Spread = Spot Bond Rate - Spot Treasury Rate,風險補償credit and liquidity risk驮宴,對于公司債來說比GSpread衡量準確
- TED Spread = LIBOR - T-Bill Rate, 風險補償銀行系統(tǒng)間的風險(risk in the banking system)以及對手風險(Counterparty risk)
- Libor-OIS Spread = Libor - overnight indexed swap(1天),反映money market的risk
- 不熟悉的Yield Curve Theory(定性)
- Prefered Habitat Theory曙咽,投資者有自己投資期限的偏好孕蝉,只有另一個期限的補償足夠多才回去投資另一期限县匠;
- 對比segmented market,投資某一期限的投資者不會進入不同的期限投資
