Investment Vehicles第 32 / 110 题
Which bond carries the greatest interest rate risk, all else equal?
a.A 2-year bond with a high coupon
b.A 5-year bond with a high coupon
c.A 5-year zero-coupon bond
d.A 30-year zero-coupon bond
解析
Interest rate risk increases with longer maturity and lower coupons, both of which lengthen duration. A 30-year zero-coupon bond has the longest duration and thus the greatest price sensitivity to rate changes. Shorter maturities and higher coupons reduce that sensitivity.
