为什么不是short 4800?

NO.PZ2020021205000065

问题如下:

a short position on 100,000 call options on a stock with a market price and strike price of USD 40 when the risk-free rate is 5%, the volatility is 22%, and the time to maturity is nine months what trade should be done to create a delta-neutral position? (Assume that the trader has no other positions dependent on the stock price.) If the stock price increases to USD 41 within a very short period, what further trade is necessary?

选项:

解释:

The trader should buy 61,500 shares of the stock to create a delta-neutral position. If the stock price then moves up to USD 41:

d1=ln(41/40)+(0.05+0.222/2)×0.750.220.75=0.4217d1=\frac{\ln(41/40)+(0.05+0.22^2/2)\times0.75}{0.22\sqrt{0.75}}=0.4217

and N(d1 ) = 0.663. The delta of the option position is -66,300 and a further 4,800 shares should be purchased.

上一题是-61500,这题是-66300,数量增加了,那不是应该再short 4800个call么?

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


首先,call option是空头头寸,一开始的delta是-61500,所以投资者一开始需要买入61,500股票才能完成Delta neutral。

后面股价上升之后,call option(此时依然是空头头寸)的delta变成了-66300,意味着我们需要一共66300的股票才能delta neutral,所以和前面的61500相比,仍需要多买入4800股票。


这道题里面call option始终都是空头,空头的option的delta都是小于0的。期权空头的时候,股价越高,我们做delta neutral需要买入的股票就越多。
