同學(xué),上午好。carry trade=forward rate bias
1. forward rate bias其實(shí)是利用forward定價(jià)來(lái)進(jìn)行獲利。如果F>S,那么需要short forwad(理由:隨著時(shí)間臨近到期,forward價(jià)格和spot價(jià)格會(huì)趨于一致,所以如果forward premium,那么forward未來(lái)是會(huì)下跌的,所以要賣(mài)出)。所以是通過(guò)forward合約賣(mài)出forward premium貨幣?;蛘呤峭ㄟ^(guò)forward合約,買(mǎi)入forward discount貨幣(F<S,forward之后會(huì)漲)
2. 根據(jù)利率平價(jià)公式,forward premium=低利率貨幣,而forward discount=高利率貨幣。
所以原版書(shū)通常把forward rate bias和carry trade進(jìn)行聯(lián)系。對(duì)于carry trade,要借低利率,投資高利率。而賣(mài)出forward premium,即賣(mài)出低利率,買(mǎi)入forward discount即買(mǎi)入高利率。
所以賣(mài)出forward premium,買(mǎi)入forward discount=賣(mài)出低利率,買(mǎi)入高利率=借低利率,投資高利率。forward rate bias和carry trade聯(lián)系起來(lái)。
3. 但是,要注意的是賣(mài)出forward premium,買(mǎi)入forward discount,其實(shí)是通過(guò)簽訂forward合約來(lái)獲利。而carry trade 借低利率,投資高利率,是從spot市場(chǎng)借低投高,進(jìn)行息差交易。而carry trade等到期時(shí),需要再?gòu)膕pot市場(chǎng)把高利率貨幣換回低利率貨幣,這步交易不會(huì)簽訂forward把匯率固定住,因?yàn)橐坏┦褂胒orward,那么投資高利率貨幣再換回低利率貨幣,收益就是低利率貨幣的無(wú)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)收益,所以不會(huì)簽訂forward。

然后回到題目:
選項(xiàng)A Investors tend to favor fixed-income investments in currencies that trade at a premium on a forward basis. 錯(cuò)。因?yàn)橥顿Y者更喜歡forward discount貨幣,通過(guò)long forward來(lái)獲利,而非forward premium
選項(xiàng)B Investors tend to hedge fixed-income investments in higher-yielding currencies given the potential for lower returns due to currency depreciation. 錯(cuò)。此處是carry trade角度,如果借低利率,投資高利率,而且通過(guò)hedge(簽訂Forward)來(lái)鎖定匯率,那么賺的就是無(wú)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)收益。
選項(xiàng)C Investors tend to favor unhedged fixed-income investments in higher-yielding currencies that are sometimes enhanced by borrowing in lower-yielding currencies. 對(duì)。借低利率投資高利率,而且不簽訂forward(unhedged),描述正確
