Answer:

preferred habitat

Explanation:

According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.

In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes

The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate

Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium

According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

A well-respected chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank suddenly resigns

Explanation:

A non-diversifiable or systematic risk, is a risk which is common to a whole market or class of investments and not just limited to just a particular company or investment.
