A trick for young players. For all this talk of {{eqderivprov|Futures Price Valuation}}, section {{eqderivprov|8.6}} is all about {{eqderivprov|Index | A trick for young players. For all this talk of {{eqderivprov|Futures Price Valuation}}, section {{eqderivprov|8.6}} is all about {{eqderivprov|Index Transaction}}s and {{eqderivprov|Index Basket Transaction}}s, where (since you can’t by an {{eqderivprov|Index}} directly, it not being a corporeal thing, but merely an interesting<ref>Look, just go with me on this one, would you?</ref> disembodied intellectual concept), so the cleanest way of getting actual exposure to an index is to buy [[futures]] on the {{eqderivprov|Index}}. It's that, or buying the actual shares underlying the index — which is quite the operational pain in the posterior, if there are a hundred shares: all that balancing whenever the index constituents change. Gah. You get the idea. | ||

As is so often the case, the answer can be laid at the door of our American friends. The [[CFTC]] doesn’t allow one to write swaps on certain Shares, so if you want synthetic exposure to them, the future is your only hope.<ref>This sounds like something [[Criswell]] would say, doesn’t it?</ref> | As is so often the case, the answer can be laid at the door of our American friends.

You may want to borrow some of the concepts from this Futures Price Valuation, but you’ll need to do some ninja [[mutatis mutandis]] moves. | |||
