2025-02-08 11:17老師,原版書課后有道CDS的題,Which of the following statements best describes how a single-name CDS contract is priced at inception? A. If the reference entity’s credit spread trades below the standard coupon rate, the CDS contract will be priced at a premium above par because the protection buyer pays a “below market” periodic coupon. B. If the reference entity’s credit spread trades above the standard coupon rate, the CDS contract will be priced at a discount to par because the protection seller effectively receives a “below market” periodic premium. C. Similar to fixed-rate bonds, CDS contracts are initially priced at par with a fixed coupon and a price that changes over time as the reference entity’s credit spreads change. 這道題為什么選B? B是說spread 大于coupon,B選項里“priced at a discount ”這明顯錯了呀,應該是premium吧?此外,AB選項都有“below market”這具體指什么?

同學,上午好。
A. 如果credit spread<coupon rate,那么price at premium,前半句正確,但是,后半句錯,protection buyer按照coupon rate給保費,那么保費多給了,所以是above
B. 如果credit spread>coupon rate,那么price at discount,前半句正確。后半句,seller保費少收了(buyer保費給少了),所以是below,也正確。
C. CDS price=1+(fixed coupon-CDS spread)×SD,只有當fixed coupon=CDS spread時,才會priced at par,C選項intially priced at par,意思時初始就是平價,錯,這是要有條件的。后半句正確,CDS spread變化,價格就變化。
