CFA二级衍生品好学吗?CFA衍生品例题示范!跟着高顿君了解一下~

CFA1、衍生品的分类

衍生品合约主要分四种类型。第一种是远期合约(Forward),第二种是期货合约(Futures),第三种是互换合约(Swap),第四种是期权(Option)。
在学习时,我们将前三种:远期合约(Forward)、期货合约(Futures)、以及互换合约(Swap)归为一大类,称为远期承诺(Forward Commitments)。
将期权归为另一大类,称为或有交易(Contingent Claims)

CFA2、二级衍生品的考试内容

二级衍生品主要学习三部分内容,分别为远期承诺中的三种衍生品的定价和价值计算;期权费的计算;以及衍生品的交易策略,特别是用期权构建不同的交易策略。
对于远期承诺中的那三种合约来说,定价就是确定未来以何种“价格”交易标的物。
价值计算就是计算合约期内如果按合约约定未来“履行交易”在现在的盈亏状况;对于期权,定价就是计算期权费。
衍生品还有一个重要的因素就是标的物。
所以如果按照标的物的不同每一种衍生品又可以分为不同的小类。衍生品中的金融标的物有:股票(指数)、债券、利率、汇率。

CFA3、二级衍生品备考建议

CFA二级衍生整体比较难,因为衍生品本身就不太好理解,加上计算量大,如果不多加练习和理解,考试时很可能时间不够用。
此外,衍生品的公式非常多,如果要死记硬背一定会出现差错。
所以首先要做的就是理解不同衍生品的原理,因为这是画好合约“现金流”的基础。
衍生品的计算核心原理是大体相近的,所以可以先吃透一种产品的定价和计算价值的方法,比如先搞明白远期合约的定价方法和计算期间价值的方法,然后再对其他衍生品合约进行对比学习。

"Derivative"exercise:Examples of derivatives

Questions 1:

Which of the following attributes is least likely to be a requirement for the existence of riskless arbitrage?The underlying security:
A、can be sold short.
B、is a financial asset.
C、is relatively liquid.
【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct.For riskless arbitrage to exist,the underlying security that can be arbitraged may be either a financial or a non-financial security.
A is incorrect.For riskless arbitrage to exist,the underlying security must be able to be short sold.
C is incorrect.For riskless arbitrage to exist,the underlying security must be relatively liquid so it is easy to buy and sell at a low cost.

Questions 2:

Which of the following is least likely to be an example of a derivative?
A、An exchange-traded fund
B、A contract to sell Alphabet Inc.’s shares at a fixed price
C、A contract to buy Australian dollars at a predetermined exchange rate
【Answer to question 2】A
【analysis】
A is correct.Although an exchange-traded fund derives its value from the underlying assets it holds,it does not transform the performance of those assets and so is not a derivative.
B is incorrect.A contract to sell Alphabet Inc.’s shares transforms the performance of the underlying shares of Alphabet Inc and is an example of an option derivative.
C is incorrect.A contract to buy Australian dollars transforms the performance of the underlying currency and is an example of a currency derivative.
