CFA Level 1- Derivatives- Forward Rate Agreement

[@benmousavi6880]

I'm studying at La Trobe University Melbourne. I must say, loudly, that Indian teachers are the best one ever. Thank you, man.

[@jamesmarchetti3305]

I’m starting up this semester a Master of Financial Analysis at La Trobe- any tips?

This is undoubtedly the best explanation ever of how a FRA works. Lessons at my university, the CFA and Schweser books, dozens of other videos on the internet do not even come close to the clarity and simplicity of your explanation. Sir, you are a fantastic teacher and I do thank you so much for posting this video. It has helped me a lot. My warmest regards.

[@siyabongandlovu7466]

This is the best explanation I've heard in FRAs

[@HamletNOR]

This is quite possibly the best video on FRAs I’ve ever seen! Thank you for the lesson, and good luck to anyone else doing the CFA exam in 2018 :-)

[@Ghithrif]

This was a marvelous lesson , especially for preparation of exams like CFA . I was however having a problem in acquiring the present value of the profit , in both the Sums I was unable to get the shown answer . Can someone please tell me step by step how was the present value calculated ? FV/ 1+IY was not working for me , I wonder where I'm going wrong

[@apratimbasu6578]

[@SSA-29-10]

[@kedu04]

Thank you for this video, it helped me to distinguish between the contract maturity period and the loan period

[@badalmunda5418]

really helpful!

[@vex1858]

great tutorial

[@neerajyadav-ms3ze]

Sir can you explain this question through a video by extrapolating this concept. Unable to grasp the solution through text book. Example: Computing the value of an FRA Suppose the 3-month and 6-month LIBOR spot rates are 4% and 5%, respectively (continuously compounded rates). An investor enters into an FRA in which she will receive 8% (assuming quarterly compounding) on a principal of $5,000,000 between months 3 and 6. Calculate the value of the FRA. Answer: R forward - 0.05 + (0.05 -0.04) X ((1/ (2 - 1)) = 0.06 = 6% R forward (with quarterly compounding) = 4 x (e^(0.06/4)-1)= 0.060452 = 6.05% value = $5,000,000 x (0.0800 - 0.0605) x (0.50 - 0.25) x e^(-0.05)*0.5) = $23,773

[@Do_Anything_you_want]

In the second example, the current rate is 8% and you calculated iy on 7%. Please answer. Thank you

[@tedchou12]

love this video

[@goldboateng8073]

thank you so much

[@chuckn11]

at 7:50, right to borrow is 6% and market is 7%.....you said the opposite.

[@AmNonExistant]

I think there’s a mistake at 1:50 since you would want interest rates to increase and not decrease

[@harshsingh4063]

yes he said wrong but eventually wrote the right direction

[@zubairahsanimavoor7202]

What is count convention sir? From Kerala

[@ramyapai4441]

Thanks a lot Sir.

[@sushanthbollaboina9392]

Thanks a ton

[@sunitajhawar2443]

Why is N 1? Shouldn't that be adjusted for the time period as well?

[@kondasandeep7]

Is the underlying a loan or an interest rate on that loan?

[@FintreeIndia]

It's the same thing, FRA's are generally cash settled

[@saitomsai4150]

thank your Sir

[@FintreeIndia]

Saitom Sai thank you for your kind words

[@nimagupta4609]

Sir I want a deatails of cfp

[@SanjayGupta-tp5zl]

Sorry I am not sure on the long and short part can you please explain again

[@bsinging1]

How is I/Y = 1.75% ? 7*(30/360) = 0.58% Can you please explain what am I missing here?

[@kgantshomonaledi1074]

Mika Singh he says 7 X 90/360

[@zakariaa4507]

Please why N = 1 since it's only 90 days ?

[@taniyashaikh92]

is N always 1??

[@FintreeIndia]

No, It can be anything, here in both example used 1

[@taniyashaikh92]

Can you please give an example where N is different for better understanding

[@BejaouiImen]

yes, actually, N is always 1 year because that's how the FRA payment formula has been established ( I suppose because the bank always displays annuel interest rates that's why we always divide by 1 year) and that's why he multiplied the annuel year 7% by (180*360) since his loan is of a period of 180 days.

[@VighneshVarma]

WHY WILL LONG BENEFIT IF INTERST RATE INCREASES.It should have been reverse

[@aigarsrosenberg6208]

Short FRA at 6% with LIBOR at 7% is a net loss of 1%, not a profit? Profit for that would be long FRA?

[@FintreeIndia]

Spot on , for Long it's a 1% profit (to be adjusted for underlying time) and for Short it will be a loss of 1%

[@MominNz]

50000/= PV at 3.5% is 48250/=. Please correct if I’m wrong. Thanks

[@akankshatiwari9872]

Aapne Yaha n 1 kyu liya hai..

[@yashdhanwani8808]

7.30 . Mistake

[@Quickclips_d4c]

You should work on pronounciation

[@arungautam3454]

His pronounciation is fine. You need to work on your listening.

[@ShirinShaba]

Very well explained sir, thank you so much for making it so easy
