When creating a synthetic security, in order to successfully create the security, a number of assumptions or theories must be accepted or adhered to:
a. One assumption is liquidity, that there is enough liquidity to insure stable pricing. Another is replication; the synthetic security is able to be replicated.
b. There are many assumptions or theories. Two that must occur is the theory of pricing, or market-clearing, the second is denotation, the theory associated with a security’s notional value.
c. One assumption is efficient pricing or cost effective arbitrage, another is replication, that is, two securities efficiently priced can be combined to replicate the returns of a third security.
d. All of the above e. None of the above
c. One assumption is efficient pricing or cost effective
arbitrage, another is replication, that is, two securities
efficiently priced can be combined to replicate the returns of a
third security.
Synthetic Securities is a combination of assets that have the same
profit/loss profile as another assets or group of assets and it has
efficient pricing or cost effective arbitrage.
