(2) Suppose you are a Canadian bond portfolio manager who has already achieved benchmarkbeating returns over the first half of the year and you want to preserve your "winning" record for the full year - and thereby lock in your hefty annual performance bonus - by fully hedging the performance of your portfolio of Canadian bonds for the remainder of the year. How would you recommend doing this using $100,000 face value Gov't of Canada CGB bond futures contracts - currently trading at 118.05- with the following projected yearend value distributions? The yield on the 10-year Gov't of Canada bond is currently 2.00%(i.e., as at June 30th) and the total market value (MV) of your portfolio of Cdn bonds is $250 million as at June 30th.
