- Which of the following is correct with regards to Theories of Term Structure? When the shape of the yield curve depends on investors’ expectations about prospective prevailing interest rates, the Pure Exception Theory is being applied. When the economic outlook is improving, the yield curve inverts as it reflects no changes in inflation premium. The liquidity preference theory suggests that long-term rates are generally higher than short-term rates since investors perceive more liquidity in long-term investments. Under the Market segmentation theory, there is an apparent relationship between the yield curve and the prevailing rate of returns in each market segment.arrow_forwardWhich of these statements below are correct? (a) Small arbitrage opportunities may occasionally exist in real markets due to lack of information. (b) If there is an arbitrage opportunity, it means one can make a risk-free profit. (c) Arbitrary investments and arbitrage generating investments are basically the same (d) The no-arbitrage price of a bond is equal to its present value. (e)The law of one price is based on the no-arbitrage assumption.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? A.
