问题如下:
An arbitrage transaction generates a net inflow of funds:
选项:
A.throughout the holding period.
B.at the end of the holding period.
C.at the start of the holding period.
解释:
C is correct.
Arbitrage is a type of transaction undertaken when two assets or portfolios produce identical results but sell for different prices. A trader buys the asset or portfolio with the lower price and sells the asset or portfolio with the higher price, generating a net inflow of funds at the start of the holding period. Because the two assets or portfolios produce identical results, a long position in one and short position in the other means that at the end of the holding period, the payoffs offset. Therefore, there is no money gained or lost at the end of the holding period, so there is no risk.
中文解析:
套利是对产生同样收益但价格不同的但个资产采取低买高卖的行为。
这一行为发生在持有期期初,对投资者产生了正的持有期收益。
在投资期末,因为两个资产收益相同,可以相会抵消,所以不存在风险。
我感觉同样的东西,已有的解释是属于在知道答案是“net 流入发生在期初”的情况下,才特意留钱在期初,用期末去解释也行?
题目问的是何时会发生net 流入,同样的例子:
比如说中石油现价3元,远期价格理论上是3.3,但是市场上的远期价格是3.2
我现在short拿到3块钱,3块钱存去银行,净是0;
期末加上无风险利息拿到3.3,到了期末,再去把我的short position补上,剩余的钱,3块钱搭配上无风险利率的回报拿到了3.3,我以3.2的forward买入补回我的short position,这个时候我在期末余下的0.1元才是net inflow呀
反向解释也是,如果foward高估3.4,现价低估3(对应未来3.3)。那就银行借钱3.4期初买入,期末卖出
然后由于3.4大于3.3,归还银行债务有剩余,剩余是期末的net inflow
