After discussing Kemper’s
new investment ideas, Doyle and Kemper evaluate one of their existing forward
contract positions. Three months ago, BestFutures took a long position in eight
10-year Japanese government bond (JGB) forward contracts, with each contract
having a contract notional value of 100 million yen. The contracts had a
price of JPY153 (quoted as a percentage of par) when the contracts were
purchased.
Now, the contracts have
six months left to expiration and have a price of JPY155. The annualized
six-month interest rate is 0.12%. Doyle asks Kemper to value the JGB forward
position.
The value of the JGB
long forward position is closest to:
选项:
A.
JPY15,980,823.
B.
JPY15,990,409.
C.
JPY16,000,000.
解释:
The value of the JGB
forward position is calculated as:
Therefore, the value
of the long forward position is 1.9988 per JPY100 par value. For the long
position in eight contracts with each contract having a par value of
100 million yen, the value of the position is calculated as
0.019988 × (JPY100,000,000) × 8 = JPY15,990,409
为什么这里直接用155-153,而没有按FRA期限除以90/360?
