Good deal hedging and valuation under combined uncertainty about drift and volatility

چکیده
We study robust notions of good-deal hedging and valuation under combined uncertainty about the drifts and volatilities of asset prices. Good-deal bounds are determined by a subset of risk-neutral pricing measures such that not only opportunities for arbitrage are excluded but also deals that are too good, by restricting instantaneous Sharpe ratios. A non-dominated multiple priors approach to model uncertainty (ambiguity) leads to worst-case good-deal bounds. Corresponding hedging strategies arise as minimizers of a suitable coherent risk measure. Good-deal bounds and hedges for measurable claims are characterized by solutions to secondorder backward stochastic differential equations whose generators are non-convex in the volatility. These hedging strategies are robust with respect to uncertainty in the sense that their tracking errors satisfy a supermartingale property under all a-priori valuation measures, uniformly over all priors.

In an incomplete information model, investors' uncertainty about the underlying drift rate of a rm's fundamentals a ects option prices through (i) endogenous and belief-dependent stochastic volatility, (ii) stochastic covariance between returns and volatility, and (iii) a market price of \belief risk." For the special case where the drift takes only two values, we provide an option pricing form...

Regime switching models have proven to be well-suited for capturing the time series behavior of many financial variables. In particular, they have become a popular framework for pricing equity-linked insurance products. The success of these models demonstrates that realistic modeling of financial time series must allow for random changes in volatility. In the context of valuation of contingent ...

We consider the problem of explicitly pricing and hedging an option written on a nonexchangeable asset when trading in a correlated asset is possible. This is a typical case of incomplete market where it is well known that the super-replication concept provides generally too high prices. Here, following J.H. Cochrane and J. Saá-Requejo, we study valuation under No Good Deal (NGD) Assumption. Fi...

Hidden Markov models have become a popular tool for modeling long-term investment guarantees. Many different variations of hidden Markov models have been proposed over the past decades for modeling indexes such as the S&P 500, and they capture the tail risk inherent in the market to varying degrees. However, goodness-of-fit testing, such as residual-based testing, for hidden Markov models is a ...
