问题如下:
8.The strategy suggested by Lee for hedging small moves in Soiomon‘s ETF position would most likely involve:
选项:
A.selling put options.
B.selling call options.
C.buying call options.
解释:
B is correct
because selling call options creates a short position in the ETF that would hedge his current long position in the ETF.
Exhibit 2 could also be used to answer the question. Solomon owns 10,000 shares of the GPX, each with a delta of +1; by definition, his portfolio delta is + 10,000. A delta hedge could be implemented by selling enough calls to make the portfolio delta neutral:
老师看下我理解的对不对。
我通过payoff画图定性理解,现在是long ETF, 担心ETF下降,既可以选择Short Call,也可以选择Long Put。
如果选择Short Call 的话只能在small move时起作用,用收到的期权费hedge ETF的下降, 一旦ETF的下降超过了Short Call的期权费,就起不到Hedge的作用了。
如果担心大幅下降,只有Long Put才有用。
这道题如果有Long Put也是对的。
