问题如下:
Which of the following derivatives is a contingent claim?
选项:
A. fixed-for-floating interest rate swap
B. credit spread option
C. bond index futures
解释:
B is correct. Swaps and futures are forward commitments because the parties have obligation to engage in a future transaction. Options are contingent claims because one party has the right but not the obligation to engage in a future transaction.
