A moment based analysis of hedging under discrete trading
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes the performance of two hedging strategies on three different options when trading is limited to take place at discrete times. Specifically, we compare the mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis of the hedging error resulting from applying a delta hedge and mean square optimal hedge to a European call option, a digital call option, and a down-and-out barrier call option. The results indicate that the two hedges perform equally well on the European call option and digital option, but the mean square optimal hedge is superior when hedging the barrier option.

The effect of discrete lateral and torsional bracings stiffness on the elastic lateral-torsional buckling of mono-symmetric I beam, under the concentrated moment
When the out-of-plane stiffness of a beam is remarkably lower than the in-plane stiffness, the lateral-torsional buckling occurs. In this study, the behavior of mono-symmetric I-beams with discrete torsional and lateral bracings under the concentrated moment is investigated using the finite element analyses. Then, based on the numerical analyses, equation for the stiffness requirement is propos...
متن کاملPricing and hedging Asian-style options on energy
We solve the problem of pricing and hedging Asian-style options on energy with a quadratic risk criterion when trading in the underlying future is restricted. Liquid trading in the future is only possible up to the start of a so-called delivery period. After the start of the delivery period, the hedge positions can not be adjusted anymore until maturity. This reflects the trading situation at t...
متن کاملLoss Analysis of a Life Insurance Company Applying Discrete-time Risk-minimizing Hedging Strategies
In this paper, we consider the net loss of a life insurance company issuing identical equity-linked pure endowment contracts in the case of periodic premiums. Under this construction, financial risks as well as the mortality risk are included. Based on Møller (1998), we particularly investigate the situation where the company applies a time-discretized risk-minimizing hedging strategy, i.e., a ...
متن کاملDelta hedging in discrete time under stochastic interest rate
One of the most discussed assumptions of financial models, especially criticized in periods of financial turmoils, is that of market completeness, that is the perfect replication of any contingent claim by a suitable dynamic trading strategy. Theoretically, this is often achieved by ruling out any market imperfection, like illiquidity, credit risks, transactions costs, taxes, etc and by assumin...
متن کاملA Fully-Dynamic Closed-Form Solution for ∆-Hedging with Market Impact
We present a closed-form ∆-hedging result for a large investor whose trades generate adverse market impact. Unlike in the complete-market case, the agent no longer finds it tenable to be perfectly hedged or even within a fixed distance away from being hedged. Instead, he may find himself arbitrarily mishedged and optimally trades towards the classical Black-Scholes ∆, with trading intensity pro...
