题目说“The party that is long a 3*9 FRA must make a Euribor deposit in three months and earns the Euribor rate for the subsequent six months.”,讲解视频里老师说这里错在不是long position,而是short position。
紧跟着解析里说“He correctly described the timing of the transactions of a 3*9 FRA. The counterparties are not required to exchange cash flows, however. Althourgh an FRA can be done in conjunction with a Euribor deposit, it is not a requirement.”,解析的意思是可以通过题目所述合成FRA,但是错在“must”上了。
想问下老师怎么看这个解析?
我记得一级时候,李老师在第一次讲FRA的时候,也讲了一种合成理念来解读FRA,大致如下图:
所以我认为从这个角度来看,题目就是说0-3月借出钱(in three month,这里老师解读为T=3是不是也不精确?他用的是in),0-9月借入钱。只是这是一种合成理念来解读FRA,并不是说你想做FRA必须如法炮制,所以“must”不对呢?
