چکیده

We consider the problem of hedging a European interest rate contingent claim with a portfolio of zero-coupon bonds and show that an HJM type Markovian model driven by an infinite number of sources of randomness does not have some of the shortcomings found in the classical finite factor models. Indeed, under natural conditions on the model, we find that there exists a unique hedging strategy, and that this strategy has the desirable property that at all times it consists of bonds with maturities that are less than or equal to the longest maturity of the bonds underlying the claim.

Pricing and hedging interest rate options: Evidence from cap–floor markets

We examine the pricing and hedging performance of interest rate option pricing models using daily data on US dollar cap and floor prices across both strike rates and maturities. Our results show that fitting the skew of the underlying interest rate probability distribution provides accurate pricing results within a one-factor framework. However, for hedging performance, introducing a second sto...

Hedging American contingent claims with constrained portfolios

The valuation theory for American Contingent Claims, due to Bensoussan (1984) and Karatzas (1988), is extended to deal with constraints on portfolio choice, including incomplete markets and borrowing/short-selling constraints, or with different interest rates for borrowing and lending. In the unconstrained case, the classical theory provides a single arbitrage-free price u0; this is expressed a...

The Valuation of Contingent Claims under Portfolio Constraints: Reservation Buying and Selling Prices

With constrained portfolios contingent claims do not generally have a unique price that rules out arbitrage opportunities. Earlier studies have demonstrated that when there are constraints on the hedge portfolio, a no-arbitrage price interval for any contingent claim exists. I consider the more realistic case where the constraints are imposed on the total portfolio of each investor and define r...

A Martingale Characterization of Consumption Choices and Hedging Costs with Margin Requirements

This paper examines optimal consumption and investment choices and the cost of hedging contingent claims in the presence of margin requirements or, more generally, of non-linear wealth dynamics and constraints on the portfolio policies. Existence of optimal policies is established using martingale and duality techniques under general assumptions on the securities’ price process and the investor...

Backward Stochastic Differential Equation on Hedging American Contingent Claims

We consider a general wealth process with a drift coefficient which is a function of the wealth process and the portfolio process with convex constraint. Existence and uniqueness of a minimal solution are established. We convert the problem of hedging American contingent claims into the problem of minimal solution of backward stochastic differential equation, and obtain the upper hedging price ...
