PASSAGE
A portfolio manager is considering two strategies. Strategy A involves purchasing a 5-year zero-coupon bond. Strategy B involves purchasing a 1-year zero-coupon bond and, upon its maturity, reinvesting the proceeds into a new 4-year zero-coupon bond. The manager believes the pure expectations theory holds and that the yield curve will evolve exactly as the current curve implies.
The current yield curve is normal and upward-sloping. If the manager's assumptions are correct, what will be the relationship between the total returns of the two strategies over the 5-year horizon?
