T-Bill Futures • Delivery of 91-day T-Bill at maturity date. So, a March futures delivers a June T-Bill. • Pricing on a discount basis, but quoted %. • Feb. 19, March 95.02 ==> discount = 4.98 100 - (4.98*91/360) ----------------------- * $1 million = $987,412 100
Hedging a $25MM T-Bill Purchase • Previous T-Bill futures has us buy: $25mill / $987,412 = 25.3187 contracts • If rates at delivery are 5.5%, T-Bills cost: (1-(.055*91/360))*$1mill = $986,097 • Futures lost: (986,097 - 987,412)*25.3187 = (33294), leaving $24,966,706 for T-Bills, but this still buys us: $ 24,966,706 / $986,097 = 25.3187 $1mill.
