问题如下:
A long position in a 2 x 5 FRA is equivalent to the following positions in the spot market:
选项: Borrowing in two months to finance a
five-month investment
Borrowing in five months to finance a two-month investment
C.Borrowing half a loan amount at two months and the remainder at five months
D.Borrowing in two months to finance a three-month investment
解释:
ANSWER: B
An FRA defined as involves a forward rate starting at time and ending at time The buyer of this FRA locks in a borrowing rate for months 3 to 5. This is equivalent to borrowing for five months and reinvesting the funds for the first two months.
long方在期初签订了2个月的FRA锁定未来的借款利率,这里投资时间是2个月我搞懂了;
在2个月后FRA到期,如果利率上涨则可以按照当初约定的利率来贷款3个月,那借入时间不是从3月初开始算吗?一共三个月呀
