10.2.2 Equivalence of the Static Spread and Margin

Static spread calculations are deterministic, therefore they are a special case of the equations in the previous section where, roughly speaking, all processes are equal to their expected value, and the margin p is substituted to the risk-adjusted margin m. The equivalent of �Equation 8–29 is then:
