问一道官网题目



The PWCC pension fund receives periodic cash flows from the plan sponsor. Wintermantle and his team discuss using futures to obtain exposure to specific asset classes in advance of the cash receipt. Deiss states, “Because the cash has yet to be received, it is not possible to use futures to gain exposure to an asset class.” Wintermantle disagrees and states, “In this case, it is possible to gain exposure to an asset class by taking long positions in risk-free bonds and futures on the asset class.” Wittke responds, “A long position in futures on the asset class is sufficient to gain exposure to the underlying asset. It is equivalent to borrowing against cash to be received in the future and investing in the underlying asset.’


Q. Who is most likely correct with respect to PWCC’s pension plan using futures to gain exposure to an asset class in advance of the cash receipt from the plan sponsor?

  1. Deiss
  2. Wintermantle
  3. Wittke

Solution

C is correct. Wittke is correct. Futures contracts can be used to gain exposure to an asset class in advance of a cash receipt, a strategy called pre-investing in an asset class. A long position in a futures contract is equivalent to being long the underlying plus a loan. That is, it is a fully leveraged position on the underlying asset.

c选项没看明白,什么是borrowing agaist cash to be received in the future?

Wittke说的就是pre-investing:把将来要收到的钱提前先投资出去了

borrow against是抵押借款的意思,against后面接的就是要抵押的东西。

pre-investing要提前投资的金额就是将来会收到的cash的金额,所以就好像是把将来会收到的钱拿来做了抵押一样。
