问题如下:
If two securities have the same volatility and a correlation equal to -0.5 their minimum variance hedge ratio is
选项:
A.1:1
B.2:1
C.4:1
D.16:1
解释:
ANSWER: B
Set x as the amount to invest in the second security, relative to that in the first (or the hedge ratio). The variance is then proportional to . Taking the derivative and setting to zero, we have . Thus, one security must have twice the amount in the other. Alternatively, the hedge ratio is given by which gives 0.5. Answer B is the only one that is consistent with this number or its inverse.
这题答案都看不懂。
老师的讲义中,都是用的线性回归来做Hedge ration,
无法理解这里为什么会得到了个x的平方的方程。
我看了之前的答案,完全无法理解,求解释的更具体,谢谢。
