B 、rise, the security will effectively have a shorter maturity than was anticipated at the time of purchase.

C、 rise, the security will effectively have a longer maturity than was anticipated at the time of purchase.

View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Extension risk is the risk faced that when interest rates rise, fewer prepayments will occur because homeowners will be reluctant to give up the benefits of a contractual interest rate that is now lower than the market rate. As a result, the security becomes longer in maturity than anticipated at the time of purchase.

A is incorrect because extension risk is the risk faced that when interest rates rise (not fall), fewer prepayments will occur because homeowners are reluctant to give up the benefits of a contractual interest rate that is now lower than the market rate. As a result, the security becomes longer in maturity than anticipated at the time of purchase.

B is incorrect because extension risk is the risk faced that when interest rates rise, fewer prepayments will occur because homeowners are reluctant to give up the benefits of a contractual interest rate that is now lower than the market rate. As a result, the security becomes longer (not shorter) in maturity than anticipated at the time of purchase.

【Answer to question 2】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Synthetic collateralized debt obligations are CDOs that are backed by a portfolio of credit default swaps.

A is incorrect because CDOs backed by a portfolio of leveraged bank loans are collateralized loan obligations.

B is incorrect because CDOs backed by a portfolio of residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities are structured finance CDOs.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。更多CFA考試資訊，點(diǎn)擊了解>
