CFA衍生品練習(xí)題
"Derivative"Exercise:Forward interest rate agreement
Questions 1:
A forward rate agreement most likely differs from most other forward contracts because:
A、positions cannot be closed out prior to maturity.
B、it involves an option component.
C、its underlying is not an asset.
【Answer to question 1】C
【analysis】
C is correct.Forward rate agreements,unlike most other forward contracts,do not have an asset as an underlying.Instead,the underlying is an interest rate.
A is incorrect.Forward rate agreements can also be closed out prior to maturity.
B is incorrect.Forward rate agreements do not involve an option component.
Questions 2:
The pricing of forwards and futures will most likely differ if:
A、interest rates exhibit zero volatility.
B、futures prices and interest rates are negatively correlated.
C、futures prices and interest rates are uncorrelated.
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
B is correct.The pricing of forwards and futures will differ if futures prices and interest rates are negatively correlated.A negative correlation between futures prices and interest rates makes forwards more desirable than futures in the long position.
A is incorrect.If interest rates exhibit zero volatility,the pricing of forwards and futures will be identical.
C is incorrect.If futures prices and interest rates are uncorrelated,the pricing of forwards and futures will be identical.
