隨著國內(nèi)逐漸開放衍生品市場,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區(qū)分,4大類衍生品的基本定價(jià)原理,以及簡單期權(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:Cash Disbursement
Questions 1:
Valuation of a swap during its life will least likely involve the:
A、application of the principle of no arbitrage.
B、use of replication.
C、investor’s risk aversion.
【Answer to question 1】C
【analysis】
C is correct.Risk neutrality,not risk aversion,is a key element of derivatives pricing,including swaps.
A is incorrect.The statement is true because the principle of no arbitrage is applied in pricing swaps.
B is incorrect.The statement is true because replication is used in pricing swaps.
Questions 2:
If a forward contract requires no cash outlay at initiation,it is most likely true that at initiation:
A、value exceeds price.
B、price exceeds value.
C、price is equal to value.
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
B is correct.At initiation,value is equal to zero.Price is a positive number that states the amount that must be paid when the purchase takes place.
A is incorrect.Value is zero;price is a positive number.
C is incorrect.Value is zero;price is a positive number.
