Synthetic inflation linked bond
Hi everybody. I am not quite sure if this thread fits in the chosen sub forum. Since I am not that experienced in trading, I figured my question would fit best here.

As far as I know, one can synthetically create an inflation linked bond of a certain issuer by simply buying the bond of the issuer and entering as an inflation buyer into a series of zero coupon inflation swaps (each on each payment date of the bond).

My question is: is it possible to synthetically create inflation linked bonds using asset swaps?

I thank you very much for your valuable time.

Kind regards

Dave

There's more than one type of inflation-linked bond. This is, theortecally possible but, in practice, would be far more hassle than it's worth from an administrative perspective.

I don't understand where you think the inflation hedge is gonna come from just using asset swaps?
