چکیده

This paper derives optimal perfect hedging portfolios in the presence of transaction costs within the binomial model of stock returns, for a market maker that establishes bid and ask prices for American call options on stocks paying dividends prior to expiration. It is shown that, while the option holder's optimal exercise policy at the ex-dividend date varies according to the stock price, there are intervals of values for such a price where the optimal policy would depend on the holder's preferences. Nonetheless, the perfect hedging assumption still allows the derivation of optimal hedging portfolios for both long and short positions of a market maker on the option. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

On option pricing in binomial market with transaction costs

Option replication is studied in a discrete-time framework with proportional transaction costs. The model represents an extension of the Cox-RossRubinstein binomial option-pricing model to cover the case of proportional transaction costs for one risky asset with different interest rates on bank credit and deposit. Contingent claims are supposed to be 2-dimensional random variables. Explicit for...

Option Pricing via Utility Maximization in the Presence of Transaction Costs : an Asymptotic Analysis

We consider a multivariate nancial market with proportional transaction costs as in Kabanov (1999). We study the problem of contingent claim pricing via utility max-imization as in Hodges and Neuberger (1989). Using an exponential utility function, we derive a closed form characterization for the asymptotic price as the risk aversion tends to innnity. We prove that it is reduced to the super-re...

A counter-example to an option pricing formula under transaction costs

In the paper by Melnikov and Petrachenko ‘On option pricing in binomial market with transaction costs,’ Finance Stoch. 9 (2005), 141–149, a procedure is put forward for pricing and replicating an arbitrary European contingent claim in the binomial model with bid-ask spreads. We present a counter-example to show that the option pricing formula stated in that paper can in fact lead to arbitrage. ...

American Options under Proportional Transaction Costs: Pricing, Hedging and Stopping Algorithms for Long and Short Positions

American options are studied in a general discrete market in the presence of proportional transaction costs, modelled as bid-ask spreads. Pricing algorithms and constructions of hedging strategies, stopping times and martingale representations are presented for short (seller’s) and long (buyer’s) positions in an American option with an arbitrary payoff. This general approach extends the special...

On Leland’s Option Hedging Strategy with Transaction Costs

Nonzero transaction costs invalidate the Black-Scholes (1973) arbitrage argument based on continuous trading. Leland (1985) developed a hedging strategy which modifies the Black-Scholes hedging strategy with a volatility adjusted by the length of the rebalance interval and the rate of the proportional transaction cost. Leland claimed that the exact hedge could be achieved in the limit as the le...
