8.      How would you describe the typical price behavior of a low premium mortgage pass-through security?
  A.     It is similar to a U.S. Treasury bond.
  B.     It is similar to a plain vanilla corporate bond.
  C.     When interest rates fall, its price increase would exceed that of a comparable duartion U.S. Treasury.
  D.     When interest rates fall, its price increase would lag that of a comparable duration U.S. Treasury.
  答疑:这道题主要考察的是提前偿付问题,mortgage pass-through security通常存在提前偿付的问题,一旦利率下降,借款人可以以更低的利率进行融资,因此会提前偿还之前的借款,然后重新借入一笔利息更低的借款。所以这样的债券当利率下降的时候价格虽然会上升,但是相对于普通的的债券来说上升得比较少。
