100. A bond portfolio manager is considering three Bonds – A, B, and C – for his portfolio. Bond A
allows the issuer to call the bond before stated maturity, Bond B allows the investor to put the
bond back to the issuer before stated maturity, and Bond C contains no embedded options. The
bonds are otherwise identical. The manager tells his assistant, “Bond A and Bond B should have
larger nominal yield spreads to a U.S. Treasury than Bond C to compensate for their embedded
options.” Is the manager most likely correct?
A. Yes.
B. No, Bond A’s nominal yield spread should be less than Bond C’s.
C. No, Bond B’s nominal yield spread should be less than Bond C’s.
