Hi john, in this paper question 2 the question asked to hedge a deposit using options.
It then asked to hedge using a collar.May I ask as the depositor was therefore limiting upside interest rates – this transaction should be termed a cap rather than a collar?
Many thanks

Limiting the maximum rate is indeed a cap, but limiting a minimum rate is a floor.
Limiting both at the same time is a collar.
You will find explanation of collars in the free lectures and in addition there is an extra note explaining them as well.
