考点Mapping to Option Position
解析We need to map the portfolio to a position in the underlying stock RTX. A deep in-the-money call has a delta of approximately 1, a deep out-of-the-money call has delta of approximately 0 and forwards have a delta of 1. The net portfolio has a delta of about 30,000 and is approximately gamma neutral. The 1-day VaR estimate at 95 percent confidence level is computed as follows:
