Notes里说long a cap is a position similar to buy a call on LIBOR while long a floor is a position similar to buy a put on LIBOR 可后面又说a long cap is equivalent to a portfolio of long put options on fixed-incomes securities and a long floor is equivalent to a portfolio of long call options on fixed-income securities prices.
long a cap is a position similar to buy a call on LIBOR while long a floor is a position similar to buy a put on LIBOR 第一句话是对的,因为cap本质上就是一系列的利率看涨期权,floor是一系列的利率看跌期权
可后面又说a long cap is equivalent to a portfolio of long put options on fixed-incomes securities and a long floor is equivalent to a portfolio of long call options on fixed-income securities prices. long cap 利率上升获利,,而利率上升,fixed-income价格下降,则long put option获利,即两者在利率上升的时候,都是获利的。
