问题如下:
You are the risk manager of your bank responsible for the derivatives desk. A trader has sold 300 call option contracts each on 100 shares of Nissan Motors with time to maturity of 90 days at USD 1.80. The delta of the option on one share is 0.60. You have hedged the option exposure by buying 18,000 shares of the underlying. The next day, the stock price falls and the delta of the options falls to 0.54. In order to keep the options hedged, you have to
选项:
A.Buy 1,800 shares of Nissan Motors
B.Sell 1,800 shares of Nissan Motors
C.Buy 1,080 shares of Nissan Motors
D.Sell 1,080 shares of Nissan Motors
解释:
First, we verify that the initial amount purchased is correct. This is shares. If the delta falls to 0.54, or by 0.06, the risk manager will have to sell shares.
老师这道题我理解的是现在有300份的期权合约,每份合约对应100股,所以需要30000股去对冲期权。由于 NS*△S+NC*△C=0 NC=-ns/delta = -30000/0.6=-50000,所以需要short 5w期权
现在delta变化成0.54,所以需要short 30000/0.54=5.5w期权
