问一道题:NO.PZ2017121101000022 [ CFA III ]

问题如下:

Aline Nuñes, a junior analyst, works in the derivatives research division of an international securities firm. Nuñes’s supervisor, Cátia Pereira, asks her to conduct an analysis of various option trading strategies relating to shares of three companies: IZD, QWY, and XDF. On 1 February, Nuñes gathers selected option premium data on the companies, presented in Exhibit 1.

Nuñes considers two option strategies relating to XDF:

Strategy 7: Writing both the April €75.00 strike call option and the April €75.00 strike put option on XDF

Strategy 8: Writing the February €80.00 strike call option and buying the December €80.00 strike call option on XDF

Based on Exhibit 1, the best explanation for Nuñes to implement Strategy 8 would be that, between the February and December expiration dates, she expects the share price of XDF to:

选项:

A.

decrease.

B.

remain unchanged.

C.

increase.

解释:

C is correct.

Nuñes would implement Strategy 8, which is a long calendar spread, if she expects the XDF share price to increase between the February and December expiration dates. This strategy provides a benefit from the February short call premium to partially offset the cost of the December long call option. Nuñes likely expects the XDF share price to remain relatively flat between the current price €74.98 and €80 until the February call option expires, after which time she expects the share price to increase above €80. If such expectations come to fruition, the February call would expire worthless and Nuñes would realize gains on the December call option.

因为short call ,2月到12月不是应该预期share price不变或下降才能赚到premimum吗?为什么是increase?谢谢

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


同学你好,这道题考察的是long calendar spread,short一个short-dated option,long一个long-dated option;

short的这个call在2月就到期了,所以应该是预期2月之前尽量平稳不要行权,赚premium;

2月之后12月之前increase,这样long的那个12月到期的call就可以行权赚取利润。

虽然现在很辛苦,但努力过的感觉真的很好,加油!

估计很多人看完题目都以为,12月在2月之前,所以会选成decrease
