Dear Tutor,
Can you please clarify this for me?
ACCA Technical Article on Interest Rate Risk Management Sept 2011
FRA Solution :
Profit or Loss on FRA was calculated based on the difference between the FRA and the outcome for Titans on the date of the transaction (i.e LIBOR on date of transaction + 90 basis point).This is what I understand as correct even from your lectures here on Open tution.
BUT
ACCA Dec 2013 (Question 2)
FRA Solution (from ACCA):
Profit or Loss on FRA was calculated based on the difference between the FRA and the LIBOR on date of transaction.What is the correct treatment ?
Can you please let me know?
Thanks

The article and my lectures are correct.
The examiner made a mistake in his answer to this question. It is OTC and the profit or loss should be the difference between the FRA rate and the actual outcome for Titans.May 26, 2014 at 8:28 pm #171062Many Thanks, gaining more confidence this time.
May 26, 2014 at 8:56 pm #171071You are welcome 🙂
And carry on being confident – it seems like you do understand things :-))
