Basis convergence and long memory in volatility when dynamic hedging with SPI futures
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the importance of basis convergence and long memory in volatility when estimating minimum variance hedge ratios (MVHRs) using SPI futures. The paper employs a bivariate FIGARCH model with a maturity effect to model the joint dynamics of the Australian All Ordinaries Index and the basis. This new approach allows for long memory in volatility, time varying correlations and the convergence between the All Ordinaries Index and its SPI futures over the life of the futures contract. The results illustrate the importance of these effects when modelling the joint dynamics and when estimating dynamic MVHRs.

Bivariate Regime Switching FIGARCH with Maturity Effects
This paper develops a new multivariate Markov regime switching model that incorporates long memory in the volatility process. The research extends the Generalized Regime Switching (GRS) framework developed by Gray (1996) to the Bivariate case using a Fractionally Integrated GARCH process with constant correlation (B-RS_FIGARCH). The model is applied to estimate dynamic minimum variance hedge ra...
متن کاملModeling the joint dynamics of spot and futures markets with a regime switching long memory volatility process
Department of Finance, The University of Melbourne, Australia SUMMARY The methods used to model the dynamics of spot and futures markets ignore the effect of changes in the cost of carry (COC) on the dynamics of the basis and its rate of convergence. This is of importance given the historically low short term interest rates currently experienced in many countries. This paper proposes bivariate ...
متن کاملHedging Volatility Risk
Volatility derivatives are becoming increasingly popular as means for hedging unexpected changes in volatility. Although pricing volatility derivatives demands extreme care in modeling the underlying volatility process, not much attention has been devoted to the complete specification of the autonomous process that volatility follows in continuous time. Despite the fact that jumps are widely co...
متن کاملDynamic Hedging using a Bivariate Markov Switching FIGARCH model
This paper develops a bivariate Markov Switching FIGARCH (MS-FIGARCH) process with constant and time varying transition probabilities as a way of modeling spot futures dynamics. An application of the model illustrates that the S&P500 and its futures exhibit long memory in volatility and structural breaks that are driven by changes in the cost of carry. The model with constant transition probabi...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Dynamic Optimal Hedging Ratio and its Effectiveness by M-GARCH Models: A Case Study for Iran Crude Oil Spot Price
Hedging the risk of crude oil prices fluctuation for countries such as Iran that are highly dependent on oil export earnings is one of the important subject to discuss. In this regard, the main purpose of this study is to calculate and analyze the optimal dynamic hedging ratio for Iranian light and heavy crude oil spot prices based on one-month to four-month cross hedge contracts in New York St...
