The price of a swap typically:
选项:
A.is zero at initiation.
B.fluctuates over the life of the contract.
C.is obtained through a process of replication.
解释:
C is correct.
Replication is the key to pricing a swap. The swap price is determined at initiation by replication. The value (not the price) of the swap is typically zero at initiation and the fixed swap price is typically determined such that the value of the swap will be zero at initiation.
