Marking-to-market and the demand for interest rate futures contracts

Article Abstract:

An analysis of marking-to-market on the pricing of derivative assets for the purpose of providing investors with hedging tools reveals that maximization of utility in an interest rate environment involves the forward contract strategy and futures contract dynamic hedging strategy. The tailing factor is determined by the characteristics of the contract and not on the investor's characteristics. Moreover, term structures should not be driven by two or more uncertainties as this alters the outcome of the prediction.
