Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / Investmentkommentar Anleihen
English term or phrase: box-trade
Aus einem Investmentkommentar zum 3. Quartal. Der Fonds investiert in Anleihen, vornehmlich aus dem Non-Corporate-Bereich.

Unter "Portfolio positioning" steht folgendes:

The current portfolio duration is only slightly longer than benchmark; and we implemented a *box-trade*.

Weiß jemand, was ein "box-trade" genau ist und wie die deutsche Entsprechung lautet, falls es denn eine gibt?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Box Spread Geschäft
Explanation:
hat auf jeden Fall was mit *Box Spreads zu tun.

vgl.:http://www.trade2win.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-18998.ht...

how do you identify a box trade?

Trading boxes are pointless. Boxes are used by instituitions to borrow/lend money. As retails it's not worth the effort to look for boxes. If you can get it for less/long more/short than what it's worth, congratulations, but chances of retails doing that before institutions, we'd be better off going to the track.

Und jetzt zu Zahn: Box Spread = Ein nahezu risikoloses Options-Arbitragegeschäft, bei dem ein Marktteilnehmer Ungleichgewichte in der Bewertung von Call und Puts zu nutzen versucht, indem er zwei Spreads zu einer Position kombiniert, d.h. er wird zu einem best. Basispreis die gleiche Anzahl von Calls verkaufen und Puts erwerben. Verfalltermine und Basiswerte sind bei allen Kontrakten gleich.
