本人脑子较笨,感谢大神解答、、、 但还有几点不明白
(1)问题就在于,为什么liability 的dur ...
(1) when liability duration shortens, the asset duration would be relative larger; there would be price risk since when interest rate increases, the asset drop in value (assume mostly bonds) would be quicker than liability; also, early redemption means u need $ (liquidity) to pay off those claims, risk tolerance decrease as a result (may need to sell some asset to generate $)
(2) As long as these "specific" events need money, best for you to write those.
Salary is a minority issue unless your expense is much larger than salary, then you may need to write it .
