问题如下:
Under put–call–forward parity, which of the following transactions is risk free?
选项:
A.Short call, long put, long forward contract, long risk- free bond.
Long call, short put, long forward contract, short risk- free bond.
C.Long call, long put, short forward contract, short risk- free bond.
解释:
A is correct. Purchasing a long forward contract and a risk- free bond creates a synthetic asset. Combining a long synthetic asset, a long put, and a short call is risk free because its payoffs produce a known cash flow of the value of the exercise price.
中文解析:
这道题考察的是put-call parity的一个变形。
我们知道S是一个不确定的现货价格,那么假设持有S同时short forward contract,就可以得到一个无风险收益,可以等效为一个risk-free bond,也就是S + short forward contract = long risk-free bond,等式两边变换一下可以得到:S = -short forward contract + long risk-free bond = long forward contract + long risk-free bond;
再把这个等式带入到P + S = C + K,得到P + long forward contract + long risk-free bond = C + K,K是无风险债券 Risk free bond,
K = P + long forward contract + long risk-free bond - C,这样就构造了一个无风险组合,A选项对。
为什么这里又说K是risk free bond呢?
p+s=c+k,我理解是put 价格 + spot 价格 = call 价格 + 行权价(固定的常数)
其实是因为这个是固定常数,所有才说risk free,但是为什么bond。
