Term

FORWARDS:

Basic forwards (no arbitrage pricing) formulas:

(1) Forward Price

(2) Value to long during life

(3) At expiration

Definition

(1) FP = S0*(1+Rf)t

 

(2) V(long) = St - [FP/(1+Rf)t]

 

(3) St - FP

Term

FORWARDS:

Forward contract on a stock:

(1) FP

(2) Value to long

Definition

FP(equity) = (S0 - PVD)*(1+Rf)t

 

V(long) = [St - PVDt] - [FP / (1+Rf)t]

Term

FORWARDS:

Forward contract on an equity index:

(1) FP

(2) V(long)

Definition

FP = S0*e(Rf - DY)*t

 

V(long) = [St / eDY*t] - [FP / eRf*t]

Term

FORWARDS:

Forward on fixed income securities

(1) FP

(2) Value to long

Definition

FP = (S0 - PVC)*(1+Rf)t

 

V(long) = (St - PVC) - [FP / (1+Rf)t]

 

PV of coupon payment = Coupon / (1 + RFR)t/365

t = time until coupon payment

Term

FORWARDS:

Currency forwards

(1) No-arbitrage forward price

(2) V(long)

Definition

FT = S0*e(R(DC)-R(FC))*t

 

Vt = [St / (1+RF)t] - [Ft / (1+RD)t]

Term

FUTURES:

No-arbitrage price of a futures contract

(asset with no storage costs/cash flows)

Definition
FP = S0*(1+Rf)t
Term

FUTURES:

(1) Futures price (asset w/ holding costs)

(2) Futures price (asset w/ nonmonetary benefits)

Definition

(1) FP = S0*(1+Rf)+ FV(net costs of holding asset)

 

(2) FP = S0*(1+Rf)- FV(convenience yield; net benefits from holding assets and having use of them)

Term

FUTURES:

Price of a Treasury bond future (2-step)

Definition

FP (T-bond)=

Treasury Bond Futures Price: f0(T) = [S0 - PVC)](1+r)T

 

Treasury Bond Futures Price: f0(T) = S0(1+r)T – FV(CF)

Treasury Bond Price =Futures Price (CTD)/Conversion factor

Term

FUTURES:

Price of an equity index future with:

(1) discrete annual dividend rate

(2) continuously compounded rate

Definition

(1) FP(Index): S0/[(1+d)t] * [1+rf]t

 

(2) FP(Index): S0e(R(f)-d)*t)

Term

FUTURES:

Price of a currency future

+in continuous time

Definition

FP(Index) = [S0 / (1+rforeign)t] * (1+r)t

 

In continuous time:

FP(Index) = S0e(Rf-R(foreign))*t

Term

FUTURES:

Equity Futures:

Futures price of a stock

Definition
