问题如下:
A company has a portfolio of stocks worth 1 million dollars with a beta of 1.5. An index futures price is currently at 3,000, and each contract is for delivery of 50 times the index. How many contracts are necessary to hedge the market risk of the portfolio? Should long or short contracts be used?

解释:
The number of contracts that should be shorted is
1.5 *1,000,000/(50 * 3,000)= 10
β是1.5,是不是现货涨1%,期货涨1.5%?
