问题如下:
Consider a US-based VC firm that is calling down capital commitments and will receive CAD50 million in 30 days. The general partner decides to sell futures contracts to lock in the current USD/CAD rate. The hedge ratio is assumed to be equal to 1.
The price for the Canadian dollar futures contract is 0.7838 USD/CAD and the contract size of CAD100,000. To hedge its risk, the firm should:
选项:
A.
sell 500 future contracts.
B.
buy 500 future contracts.
C.
sell 50 future contracts.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:futures管理汇率风险
解析:
To hedge the risk of the Canadian dollar depreciating against the US dollar, the VC firm must sell
CAD 50,000,000/CAD 100,000=500 contracts
中文解析:
题干中说GP想通过卖出期货合约来锁定USD/CAD的汇率,加元期货的合约规模为CAD100,000。因此需要的合约份数为50millionCAD/100,000CAD=500份
因为要收到receive CAD 且给出的也是 USD/CAD 说明该期货是真对加币的; 担心收到的货币变质 所以short USD/CAD
