Super interesting, thank you.

Why didn't you take into account the (negative) carry of the CDX after the spike that occured in your example one month after? How can we get it?

Many thanks!

I don't understand truly your question sorry.

In my calculation I used an example a long bond portfolio (with the carry) and added the cost (negative carry) of buying protection on a CDS.

Is it that whay you mean?

yes. Actually, I was wondering the breakeven such as the CDS position doesnt loose money over 2 months. I would say 407/2/12/4.5 = 68bps tightenning.

Thanks

Ah now catched you. Clearly it's a simplification. Neither the bond portfolio has a roll down consideration, only the carry one.
