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.
B.
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。
题面问的risk free,我首先反应为公式c+K=p+F+rf 所以变形以后三个答案都不匹配。我想问的是若不从答案出发反推问题,这个问法是不是也可以理解为forward折现的rf
