单项选择题

郝乐山,今年45 岁,多年前与朋友共同创立了AAA 物流公司,在当地占有相当的市场份额,业务稳定,不久前在深圳中小板市场挂牌上市。经过多年打拼,郝乐山感觉要重新规划自己的人生,追求自由、自主、自在的生活。 郝乐山持有AAA 公司的股份200 万股,目前市值为2,000 万元,当初入股的成本为200 万元。按照上市时的承诺,郝乐山三个月后可以减持100 万股,剩余100万股必须至少再持有5 年。此外,郝乐山还有现金储蓄200 万元;目前税前年收入120 万元,所得税率20%,其中工资20 万元加AAA 公司股东分红100 万元,交税后全部用于日常生活以及自己喜欢的登山运动。没有其他金融资产。AAA 公司为郝乐山提供终身保险,但不提供退休工资。 郝乐山希望5 年后不再工作,靠已有的财富以及投资保值增值来维持现有的生活水平,并专心自己的登山爱好。他希望投资的税后收益率在扣除通货膨胀后能达到3%就可以。他虽然属于保守型的投资者,但理解投资是有风险的,愿意承受在95%的置信区间内的不超过10%的年投资本金损失。历史平均的通货膨胀率为2.9%,资本利得所得税率为20%,假定一直保持不变。 郝乐山请来国际金融理财师李保财为他做理财规划。

郝乐山准备三个月后套现100万股AAA公司的股票。半年前上市时的价格才每股5元,在牛市的推动下现在已经涨到了每股10元,李保财担心未来三个月内市场可能有较大的调整,建议用沪深300股票指数期货来套期保值。AAA公司的股票相对沪深300指数的beta为1.2,当前沪深300指数为3,950点,三个月后到期的期货合约价格为4,000点,合约每点合300元。假设股票指数与股票指数期货完全相关,大致需要卖出多少份合约完全对冲市场的波动?()

A.8 份

B.10 份

C.12 份

D.14 份
