Does anyone know why a long FRA does not replicate a payer interest rate swap?
I figured that under the long FRA you pay fixed and receive floating interest
under a payer interest rate swap it also seems that you pay the fixed rate and receive floating (or net the difference)
In the Kaplan Schweser practice exam they state that a long floating cap and short floor replicates the swap but not a long interest rate FRA which is strange to me
any one know?
