Floating-rate payment bond replication
= Floating-rate payment bond replication
{title2=$\operatorname{Price}_0(r_T-f)=P_0(T-1)-(1+f)P_0(T)$}
Buy one maturity-$(T-1)$ bond and short $1+f$ maturity-$T$ bonds. Reinvest the first bond's unit maturity payoff in $1/P_{T-1}(T)$ maturity-$T$ bonds. This <self-financing portfolio> pays $r_T-f$ at $T$. The replication uses only the adjacent maturities and does not require completeness of the whole bond market.
