同学你好，为了叙述方便假设FRA使用现金结算的（现实中大多数情况也是如此）
long position的FRA 2 x 5，假设forward rate是6.2%，2月后的现期利率是6.4%
那么在FRA到期即t=2时，由于市场利率上升，long方将收获本金*（6.4%-6.2%）/4 / （1+6.4%/4）的金额，这个是现金结算。
这就可以看成是，long方以6.2%的利率接入了五个月的资金，然后投资回报就取决于t=2时的市场利率（后面3个月的利率已经固定了）。如果那时的即期利率是6.4%，那他就赚了这么多。
这就当相于借了5个月的钱，然后投资的是前两个月
NO.PZ2016082402000057 问题如下 A long position in a 2 x 5 FRA is equivalent to the following positions in the spot market: Borrowing in two months to finana five-month investment Borrowing in five months to finana two-month investment Borrowing half a loamount two months anthe remainr five months Borrowing in two months to finana three-month investment ANSWER: BFRA finet1×t2t_1\times t_2t1×t2 involves a forwarrate starting time t1t_1t1 anenng time t2t_2t2 The buyer of this FRA locks in a borrowing rate for months 3 to 5. This is equivalent to borrowing for five months anreinvesting the fun for the first two months. 画红线那句话根本没看懂，为什么borrow是5个月 ，loan实际只有3个月啊，还有投资是什么意思，前面的2个月是投资？？？
