A Guided Tour through Quadratic Hedging Approaches
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of results and developments in the area of pricing and hedging contingent claims in an incomplete market by means of a quadratic criterion. We first present the approach of risk-minimization in the case where the underlying discounted price process X is a local martingale. We then discuss the extension to local risk-minimization when X is a semimartingale and explain the relations to the Föllmer-Schweizer decomposition and the minimal martingale measure. Finally we study mean-variance hedging, the variance-optimal martingale measure and the connections to closedness properties of spaces of stochastic integrals.

Robust Recovery Risk Hedging: Only the First Moment Matters
Credit derivatives are subject to at least two sources of risk: the default time and the recovery payment. This paper examines the impact of modeling the recovery payment on hedging strategies in a reduced-form model as well as a Merton-type model. We show that quadratic hedging approaches do only depend on the expected recovery payment at default and not the whole shape of the recovery payment...
متن کاملSome results on quadratic hedging with insider trading
We consider the hedging problem in an arbitrage-free financial market, where there are two kinds of investors with different levels of information about the future price evolution, described by two filtrations F and G = F ∨ σ(G) where G is a given r.v. representing the additional information. We focus on two types of quadratic approaches to hedge a given square-integrable contingent claim: loca...
متن کاملShortfall Risk Minimisation vs. Symmetric (Quadratic) Hedging
The seller of a contingent claim H can always find a self-financing investment strategy that (super)hedges the claim H. When the seller wants to endow an initial capital x less than the one required to get perfect (super)hedging, the shortfall risk minimisation problem arises in a natural way. The aim is to find the strategy that minimises E{`([H(ST )−V x,φ T ])} (shortfall risk), where V x,φ t...

متن کاملQuadratic Hedging and Mean-Variance Portfolio Selection with Random Parameters in an Incomplete Market
This paper concerns the problems of quadratic hedging and pricing, and mean-variance portfolio selection in an incomplete market setting with continuous trading, multiple assets, and Brownian information. In particular, we assume throughout that the parameters describing the market model may be random processes. We approach these problems from the perspective of linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal co...
