Current rates of return for immunized strategies are 6% and the portfolio manager is willing to accept a return of 5%. Given that the required terminal value is $31,678,475, and if the immunized rates rise to 7% immediately, which of the following is most accurate? The dollar safety margin is: A. negative (-$1,423,980) and the portfolio manager must switch to immunization. B. positive ($370,765) and the portfolio manager can continue with contingent immunization. C. positive ($6,158,602) and the portfolio manager can continue with contingent immunization. |
