If two bonds with identical credit ratings, coupon and maturity but from different issuers trade at different spreads to treasury rates, which of the following is a possible explanation: I. The bonds differ in liquidity II. Events have happened that have changed investor perceptions but these are not yet reflected in the ratings III. The bonds carry different market risk IV. The bonds differ in their convexity
Correct Answer: C
Explanation When two bonds that appear identical in every respect trade at different prices, the difference is often due to differences in liquidity between the two bonds (the lessliquid bond will be cheaper and yield higher), and also due to the fact that ratings from the major rating agencies do not generally react to day to day changes in the market. The market's perception of the differences in the two credits will cause a divergence in the prices. This has been an extremely visible phenomenon during the credit crisis of 2007-2009, where fixed income security prices have changed sharply for many securities without any changes in external credit ratings. Bonds carrying 'differentmarket risk' is meaningless, and so is the difference in convexity (because the calculated convexity would be identical for similar bonds). Therefore Choice 'c' is the correct answer.
