ABC Life Company acts as the fund manager for a number of defined-benefit pension plans. Its specialty is to construct portfolios such that the surplus of the plan has low volatility. To do that, ABC must construct portfolios that behave most like
A、a long position in a fixed-rate bond.
B、a short position in a floating-rate bond.
C、a long position in a floating-rate bond.
D、a short position in a fixed-rate bond.
又看了下题目,感觉选A和D分歧在于对题目的理解。
选A是认为A策略能够与defined-benefit pension 相抵销;而选D应该是认为“公司的defined-benefit pension plan 就好像公司有 a short position in a fixed-rate bond”
嗯,题目“ABC must construct portfolios that behave most like ”这句话到底应该怎么理解呢
