Net position is guaranteed contract (risk-free) Since the risk-free rate equals the T-bill rate:
(long stock)+(long put)+(short call)=(long T-bill)

With Treasury-bill as the fourth security, any one of the four may be replaced with combinations of the other three

Put-Call-Forward Parity
Instead of buying stock, take a long position in a forward contract to buy stock Supplement this transaction by purchasing a put option and selling a call option, each with the same exercise price and expiration date This reduces the net initial investment compared to purchasing the stock in the spot market
Put-Call-Forward Parity
The difference between put and call prices must equal the discounted difference between the common exercise price and the contract price of the forward agreement, otherwise arbitrage opportunities would exist
Either
hold the shares and purchase a put option, or sell the shares and buy a T-bill and a call option
