隨著國(guó)內(nèi)逐漸開放衍生品市場(chǎng),越來越需要有衍生品專業(yè)知識(shí)的人才。這部分的衍生品主要介紹衍生品的一些基本知識(shí),包括衍生品的種類及市場(chǎng)區(qū)分,4大類衍生品的基本定價(jià)原理,以及簡(jiǎn)單期權(quán)策略。
CFA一級(jí)考試的Derivatives(金融衍生品)具體的內(nèi)容知識(shí)點(diǎn)包含1個(gè)study session,3個(gè)reading。
其中,Reading 57對(duì)衍生品市場(chǎng)進(jìn)行了區(qū)別,并對(duì)4大類衍生品進(jìn)行了基本定義;
Reading 58講衍生品的定價(jià)和估值的基本原理,并對(duì)4大類衍生品的基本定價(jià)做了介紹;
Reading 59對(duì)期權(quán)做了進(jìn)一步分析,介紹兩種期權(quán)及兩種期權(quán)策略的應(yīng)用。
從考試的重要度來看,Reading 58、Reading 59是最重要的,Reading 57其次,其他Reading重要性不大。

CFA衍生品練習(xí)題
"Derivative"exercise:Put Call Parity
Questions 1:
The price of an interest rate swap that involves the exchange of a fixed payment for a floating payment is most likely:
A、equal to its value at expiration.
B、set at initiation and constant over time.
C、affected by changes in the floating payment.
【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct.Swaps have both a price and a value.Price in the context of a swap is a reference to the fixed-rate payment on the swap,which is constant over time.The value of a swap is zero at initiation but can change over the life of the swap as market interest rates change.
A is incorrect.Price and value are not normally equal at expiration.
C is incorrect.The price in the context of a swap is a reference to the fixed-rate payment on the swap,which is constant over time and does not change in reaction to interest rate changes.
Questions 2:
Using put–call parity,a long call can best be replicated by going:
A、long the put,short the asset,and long the bond.
B、short the put,long the asset,and short the bond.
C、long the put,long the asset,and short the bond.
【Answer to question 2】C
【analysis】
C is correct.According to put–call parity,a long call is equal to long put,long asset,short bond.
A is incorrect.The short asset position must be a long position,and the long bond position must be a short position.According to put–call parity,a long call is equal to long put,long asset,short bond.
B is incorrect.The short put position must be a long position.According to put–call parity,a long call is equal to long put,long asset,short bond.
