Pricing formulas, model error and hedging derivative portfolios
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a method for extending a given asset pricing formula to account for two additional sources of risk: the risk associated with future changes in market–calibrated parameters and the remaining risk associated with idiosyncratic variations in the individual assets described by the formula. The paper makes simple and natural assumptions for how these risks behave. These extra risks should always be included when using the formula as a basis for portfolio management. We investigate an idealized typical portfolio problem, and argue that a rational and workable trading strategy can be based on minimizing the quadratic risk over the time intervals between trades. The example of the variance gamma pricing formula for equity derivatives is explored, and the method is seen to yield tractable decision strategies in this case.

متن کاملDerivative Pricing Model and Time-series Approaches to Hedging: a Comparison
This research compares derivative pricing model and statistical time-series approaches to hedging. The finance literature stresses the former approach, while the applied economics literature has focused on the latter. We compare the out-of-sample hedging effectiveness of the two approaches when hedging commodity price risk using futures contracts. For various methods of parameter estimation and...
متن کاملAn equilibrium pricing model for weather derivatives in a multi-commodity setting
Many industries are exposed to weather risk. Weather derivatives can play a key role in hedging and diversifying such risk because the uncertainty in a company’s profit function can be correlated to weather condition which affects diverse industry sectors differently. Unfortunately the weather derivatives market is a classical example of an incomplete market that is not amenable to standard met...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Approach to Pricing and Hedging Derivative Securities Via Learning Networks
We propose a nonparametric method for estimating the pricing formula of a derivative asset using learning networks. Although not a substitute for the more traditional arbitrage-based pricing formulas, network-pricing formulas may be more accurate and computationally more efficient alternatives when the underlying asset's price dynamics are unknown, or when the pricing equation associated with t...
متن کاملA multi-period equilibrium pricing model of weather derivatives
The prevalence of commercial activities whose profit and cost are correlated with weather risk makes weather derivatives valuable financial instruments that enable hedging of price or volumetric (quantity) risk in many industries. This paper proposes a multi-period equilibrium pricing model for weather derivative. In our stylized economy representative agents of weather-sensitive industries opt...
