Question 19/101

A borrower who fears a rise in interest rates and wishes to hedge against that risk should:

A. Go short an FRA

B. Go long an FRA

C. Buy fed futures

D. Sell T-bill futures

Correct Answer: B

Explanation
T-bill futures and fed futures are very short term futures contracts, and unlikely to provide much of a hedge against a rise in interest rates. FRAs however are customized and would be the right instrument for the borrower to hedge his interest rate risk. A long FRA position gives him the right to borrow at an agreed rate in the future. This rate will not change regardless of the changes in interest rates, and therefore Choice 'b' is the correct answer.
