同学,上午好。
因为题干中有关键形象【The yield curve is upward - sloping and expected to remain unchanged】,收益率曲线斜向上且保持稳定,所以换言之,我的投资期限越长,那么YTM就越高,而且收益率曲线稳定不变,所以这个收益是有保证的,不会突然就改变。
所以,我们的投资策略就是尽可能买时间久的债券,也就是增加久期。
A选项 购买10年零息债,符合要求。
B选项 支30年固定,收浮动,会降低久期,不满足要求。
C选项 购买20年国债,通过在repo market短期市场上借钱。也会增加久期。满足要求
所以选B,least attractive

老师好,对于B,如果我是支固定,收浮动,由于利率会稳定增加,那么浮动利率会大于固定利率,这样不是更划算么?

浮动利率是短期利率。他不会增加,比如1年的浮动利率,今年是1年期的短期利率,到了明年,重新调整,还是1年期的短期利率。
