Robust Recovery Risk Hedging: Only the First Moment Matters
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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 distribution. This justifies assuming a certain recovery payment conditional on the default time. Hence, this result allows a simplified modeling of credit risk.

This paper presents hedging strategies for European and exotic options in a Lévy market. By applying Taylor's Theorem, dynamic hedging portfolios are constructed under different market assumptions, such as the existence of power jump assets or moment swaps. In the case of European options or baskets of European options, static hedging is implemented. It is shown that perfect hedging can be achi...

متن کاملModel Risk: A Conceptual Framework for Risk Measurement and Hedging
The vast majority of approaches to risk management, hedging, or portfolio planning assume that some model is given. However, under model risk, the true data generating process is not known. The focus of this paper is on problems related to the hedging of derivative contracts. We explain the main general concepts, provide economic interpretations, and illustrate our arguments by simple and strai...
