SYNTHETIC FORWARD CONTRACT
Position in which an investor takes long on a call option and short on a put option simultaneously, with similar strike price and maturity date. This strategy mirrors a regular forward contract. Normally, an investor will pay a net option premium when placing a synthetic forward contract, but the short position offsets part of the long position cost.
