问题如下:
A manager holds a long position in S&P 500 index forward contract. Which of the following will lead to a loss?
选项:
A.
an increase in the risk-free rate
B.
a decrease in index level
C.
an increase in the market price of the forward contract.
解释:
B is correct.
考点:forward price的影响因素
解析:
根据forward price的定价公式可知:
无风险利率上升,FP上升,对于long方有收益,因为long方可以以期初签定的更低的FP买东西。A不对
标的资产的价格下降,会导致FP下降,对于long方有亏损,B对。
FP的市场价格上升,对于long方有收益(以更低的FP买东西),C不对。
long position in forward意思是long 现货short forward吗 这个表述有种让人以为long forward的感觉
