我今天又做到一道题说FRA的标的物是利率本身,interest rate swap的标的物是债券啊

NO.PZ2023040401000030

问题如下:

Which of the following is most likely the underlying of an interest rate swap?

选项:

A.180-day Libor (MRR) B.

10-year US Treasury bond

C.

Bloomberg Barclay’s US Aggregate Bond Index

解释:

A is correct. In a plain vanilla interest rate swap, an interest rate, such as Libor, serves as the underlying. A plain vanilla interest rate swap is one of many derivatives in which a rate, not the instrument that pays the rate, is the underlying.

B is incorrect because a plain vanilla interest rate swap is one of many derivatives in which a rate, not an instrument that pays a rate, is the underlying.

C is incorrect because a plain vanilla interest rate swap is one of many derivatives in which a rate, not an instrument (or index) that pays a rate, is the underlying.

所以interest rate swap才是和利率反向浮动。这两道题答案好像矛盾了,什么情况

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


对于FRA,标的物是利率本身,这个我们在基础课都有讲解。


那对于swap来说,swap的本质就是一系列的远期合约,它的标的自然与FRA是一样的。对于同学的疑问,这是因为我们再给swap定价或者估值的时候加入了名义本金的概念,最终把对swap的估值转化成了固定债券和浮动债券的估值,但这只是为了我们计算才这样做了处理,并不是它的标的发生了变化,标的还是利率本身。
