Keller and Richard Morrison discuss several hedging techniques. To lock-in a floor price and retain unlimited upside potential, Morrison decided to use a protective put position.
Explain one drawback of this hedging strategy.
选项: 解释:
There are two potential drawbacks with this hedging strategy. The strategy requires an outof- pocket expenditure to purchase the put options, which can be significant depending on a number of factors, including the volatility of the stock, the strike price, and maturity. Another potential drawback is the credit risk of the counterparty. Counterparty risk is greater for an over-the-counter (OTC) derivative because the investor incurs the credit risk of a single counterparty. With respect to exchange-traded instruments, because a clearinghouse is the counterparty and guarantees the instrument, the investor incurs significantly less counterparty risk.
第二个缺点优点没搞明白,只是说买了一个put,put也可能是场内交易的,是不是这种情况下就没有对手方违约风险了?为什么会说OTC是他的缺点呢?这个不一定吧。
