题目中的信息:The idea is to transform the callable bond (the liability) into a non-callable security synthetically using the swaption.
要remove掉callable bond中embedded option。利率下跌,债券价格上升时embedded call option会行权,所以要在利率下跌时,Swaption要行权,要让债券发行人能继续pay-fixed,这样callable bond就转化成了noncallable bond.
能达到Pay-fixed效果的swaption合约有:
buy payer swaption (有权利进入一个pay-fixed的swap合约),和sell receiver swaption(对手方有权利进入一个receive-fixed的swap合约,意味着卖出方要pay-fixed)。
但是要在利率下跌时能行权,只有short receive swaption能被行权。
或者在衍生品里,我们学过:
A payer swaption is equivalent to a put option on a bond
A receiver swaption is equivalent to a call option on a bond.
callable bond发行方拥有了call option on bond,所以在short一个call option on bond就把callable bond转成了non-callable bond。
