嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:
- futures 的specified content是合约里明确的一些条款,内容包括交割物的 quality, quantity, delivery time, and location(就是你说的交割地点)。futures是高度标准化的产品,这些specified content都是在期货上市交易之前由交易所规定好的,比如咱们国内的郑商所、大商所、上期所就对商品期货的交割标准有明确的要求。
- mark to market是逐日盯市制度,这是futures独有的制度,跟现金交割还是实物交割没关系。按照notes里的说法是:Futures contracts are settled daily, therefore, all gains/losses for a given year would be considered realized and, therefore, must recorded each year (mark to market).
