套期保值者策略性交易和市场多重均衡

金融市场中,投资者为规避风险经常采取套期保值策略,降低因资产价值波动带来的风险.从金融市场微观结构理论出发,通过分析知情交易者交易策略和做市商定价策略对套期保值者交易的影响,构建了套期保值者策略交易模型.从模型和数值分析得出,套期保值者的策略性交易使市场具有产生多重均衡的可能:一种为套期保值者数量多,流动性高的均衡;另一种为套期保值者数量少,流动性低的均衡.其形成过程为套期保值者进入(退出)市场会引起其他套期保值者进入(退出)市场,形成预期自我实现现象,导致不同流动性下的均衡.

Risk Minimization for a Filtering Micromovement Model of Asset Price

Abstract

The classical option hedging problems have mostly been studied under continuous-time or equally spaced discrete-time models, which ignore two important components in the actual price: random trading times and market microstructure noise. In this paper, we study optimal hedging strategies for European derivatives based on a filtering micromovement model of asset prices with the two commonly ignored characteristics. We employ the local risk-minimization criterion to develop optimal hedging strategies under full information. Then, we project the hedging strategies on the observed information to obtain hedging strategies under partial information. Furthermore, we develop a related nonlinear filtering technique under the minimal martingale measure for the computation of such hedging strategies.     

Dynamic conic hedging for competitiveness

The paper provides a new hedging methodology permitting systematic hedging choices with wide applications. Dynamic concave bid price, and convex ask price functionals from the recent literature are employed to construct new hedging strategies termed dynamic conic hedging. The primary focus of these strategies is to adopt positions maximizing a nonlinear conditional expectation expressed recursively as a concave current bid price for the one step ahead risk held or minimizing the convex current ask price for the risk promised. Risk management and hedging then have a new market value enhancing perspective different from the classical forms of risk mitigation, local variance minimization, or even expected utility maximization.     

Quadratic hedging for sequential claims with random weights in discrete time

We study a quadratic hedging problem for a sequence of contingent claims with random weights in discrete time. We obtain the optimal hedging strategy explicitly in a recursive representation, without imposing the non-degeneracy (ND) condition on the model and square integrability on hedging strategies. We relate the general results to hedging under random horizon and fair pricing in the quadratic sense. We illustrate the significance of our results in an example in which the ND condition fails.     

Lead-time hedging and coordination between manufacturing and sales departments using Nash and Stackelberg games

In a firm, potential conflict exists between manufacturing and sales departments. Salespersons prefer to order from manufacturing departments in advance so that they can secure products in the amount they need to satisfy customers in time. This time in advance strategy is defined as “lead-time hedging.” While this hedging strategy is good for the sales department to guarantee the right quantity at the right time for customers, it adds additional costs and pressure to the manufacturing department. One scheme to resolve this conflict is to introduce a fair “internal price,” charged by the manufacturing department to the sales department. In this paper, two models involving a fair internal price are introduced. In one model, a Nash game is played to reach an optimal strategy for both parties. In the other model, a Stackelberg game is played in which the manufacturing department serves as the leader. We show that these two models can successfully reduce lead-time hedging determined by the salesperson and can increase the firm’s overall profit, as compared to the traditional model without considering the internal price. More insights have also been analyzed that include the comparisons of the manufacturer’s and the salesperson’s profits among the traditional model, the Nash game model, the Stackelberg game model, and the centralized global optimization model.

Price bounds of mortality-linked security in incomplete insurance market

This study investigates reasonable price bounds for mortality-linked securities when the issuer has only a partial hedging ability. The price bounds are established by minimizing the difference between the benchmark price and the replicating portfolio cost subject to the gain–loss ratio of excess payoff of the mortality-linked securities. In contrast to the previous studies, the assumptions of no-arbitrage pricing and utility-based pricing are not fully employed in this study because of the incompleteness of the insurance securitization market. Instead, a framework including three insurance basis assets is constructed to search for the price bounds of mortality-linked securities and use the Swiss Re mortality catastrophe bond, issued in 2003, as a numerical example. The proposed price bounds are valuable for setting bid–asked spreads and coupon premiums, and establishing trading strategies in the raising mortality securitization markets.     

Optimal strategies for hedging portfolios of unit-linked life insurance contracts with minimum death guarantee

In this paper, we are interested in hedging strategies which allow the insurer to reduce the risk to their portfolio of unit-linked life insurance contracts with minimum death guarantee. Hedging strategies are developed in the Black and Scholes model and in the Merton jump-diffusion model. According to the new frameworks (IFRS, Solvency II and MCEV), risk premium is integrated into our valuations. We will study the optimality of hedging strategies by comparing risk indicators (Expected loss, volatility, VaR and CTE) in relation to transaction costs and costs generated by the re-hedging error. We will analyze the robustness of hedging strategies by stress-testing the effect of a sharp rise in future mortality rates and a severe depreciation in the price of the underlying asset.     

Pricing and hedging in the presence of extraneous risks

Given an underlying complete financial market, we study contingent claims whose payoffs may depend on the occurrence of nonmarket events. We first investigate the almost-sure hedging of such claims. In particular, we obtain new representations of the hedging prices and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a claim to be marketed. The analysis of various examples then leads us to investigate alternative pricing rules. We choose to embed the pricing problem into the agent’s portfolio decision and study reservation prices. We establish the existence and consistency of this pricing rule in a semimartingale model. We characterize the nonlinear dependence of the reservation price with respect to both the agent’s initial capital and the size of her position. The fair price arises as a limiting case.     

On Carr and Lee’s Correlation Immunization Strategy

In their seminal work Robust Replication of Volatility Derivatives, Carr and Lee show how to robustly price and replicate a variety of claims written on the quadratic variation of a risky asset under the assumption that the asset’s volatility process is independent of the Brownian motion that drives the asset’s price. Additionally, they propose a correlation immunization strategy that minimizes the pricing and hedging error that results when the correlation between the risky asset’s price and volatility is non-zero. In this paper, we show that the correlation immunization strategy is the only strategy among the class of strategies discussed in Carr and Lee's paper that results in real-valued hedging portfolios when the correlation between the asset’s price and volatility is non-zero. Additionally, we perform a number of Monte Carlo experiments to test the effectiveness of Carr and Lee’s immunization strategy. Our results indicate that the correlation immunization method is an effective means of reducing pricing and hedging errors that result from a non-zero correlation.
