May 13 at 11:00 comment added Arshdeep The third answer there provides intuition to the convexity adjustment, hopefully that should explain it. Numerator is just the covariance but because the rates are lognormal, it has the forward levels as well $dF=vol*F*dW$

May 13 at 10:51 comment added Richi Wa Thanks, and how can I understand the numerator better? We systematically lose something proportional to $F_{k-1}*F_k$. If both rates are positive we always lose a bit (compared to the $P(k)$ bond, right?). Other question: is there any paper that discusses such intuition? Thanks!
May 13 at 10:08 comment added Arshdeep F(k-1) sets at K-2 and is paid at K-1. That is its natural payment date. In measure Q-K, the relevant asset F(K-1) is valued as if paid at K. This is the payment delay adjustment - from K-1 to K.
May 13 at 8:19 comment added Richi Wa Thank you for this answer. Could you please elaborate a bit more on the delayed aspect? The SDE holds for $t< T_{k-2}$, so I don't see a delay here. If we discount with $P_t(k)$ then we discount with a bond with longer maturity, I understand that. I would appreciate more thoughts on that. Thank you!
