隨著國內(nèi)逐漸開放衍生品市場(chǎng),越來越需要有衍生品專業(yè)知識(shí)的人才。這部分的衍生品主要介紹衍生品的一些基本知識(shí),包括衍生品的種類及市場(chǎng)區(qū)分,4大類衍生品的基本定價(jià)原理,以及簡(jiǎn)單期權(quán)策略。
CFA一級(jí)考試的Derivatives(金融衍生品)具體的內(nèi)容知識(shí)點(diǎn)包含1個(gè)study session,3個(gè)reading。
其中,Reading 57對(duì)衍生品市場(chǎng)進(jìn)行了區(qū)別,并對(duì)4大類衍生品進(jìn)行了基本定義;
Reading 58講衍生品的定價(jià)和估值的基本原理,并對(duì)4大類衍生品的基本定價(jià)做了介紹;
Reading 59對(duì)期權(quán)做了進(jìn)一步分析,介紹兩種期權(quán)及兩種期權(quán)策略的應(yīng)用。
從考試的重要度來看,Reading 58、Reading 59是最重要的,Reading 57其次,其他Reading重要性不大。

CFA衍生品練習(xí)題
"Derivative"Exercise:Futures price and interest rate
Questions 1:
A forward rate agreement most likely differs from most other forward contracts because:
A、positions cannot be closed out prior to maturity.
B、it involves an option component.
C、its underlying is not an asset.
【Answer to question 1】C
【analysis】
C is correct.Forward rate agreements,unlike most other forward contracts,do not have an asset as an underlying.Instead,the underlying is an interest rate.
A is incorrect.Forward rate agreements can also be closed out prior to maturity.
B is incorrect.Forward rate agreements do not involve an option component.
Questions 2:
The pricing of forwards and futures will most likely differ if:
A、interest rates exhibit zero volatility.
B、futures prices and interest rates are negatively correlated.
C、futures prices and interest rates are uncorrelated.
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
B is correct.The pricing of forwards and futures will differ if futures prices and interest rates are negatively correlated.A negative correlation between futures prices and interest rates makes forwards more desirable than futures in the long position.
A is incorrect.If interest rates exhibit zero volatility,the pricing of forwards and futures will be identical.
C is incorrect.If futures prices and interest rates are uncorrelated,the pricing of forwards and futures will be identical.
