- You are managing a pension fund with a value of $300 million and a beta of 1.07. You are concerned about a market decline and wish to hedge the portfolio. You have decided to use SPX calls. How many contracts do you need if the delta of the call option is .62 and the S&P index is currently at 2,030?You want to use S&P 500 index options to hedge your portfolio. • Portfolio has a beta of -1.0. • It is currently worth $500,000 and index stands at 1000. • The risk-free rate is 0% per annum. • There is no dividend yield on both the portfolio and the index. 1) What option contracts would you consider? 2) How many option contracts should be purchased? 3) What strike price should we consider for insurance against the portfolio value falling below $450,000 in three months? 4) What happens if index level turns out to be 1200 after three months?By looking at the sensivities of your portfolio to ds = -$2 and So = -1%, you decide to hedge delta, gamma and Vega risk of your portfolio with the underlying stock and two different options on the same asset with below data. Calculate the units of stock you need to trade to hedge away all delta, gamma and Vega risks of your portfolio.(Note that here you have to calculate the units of stock, Option A and Option B, but you will only submit the units of stock.)

- RaghuSuppose you are a seller . At time t = 0 you get £C from the buyer where C is the risk-neutral price of the option. You then have to design a hedging strategy which would allow you to meet your financial obligation in one year’s time. Your portfolio should consist of two investments: you are allowed to buy the underlying shares and to deposit money in the bank. The price of the share evolves according to a geometric Brownian motion. State the formulae you will need to compute the number of shares in the portfolio and the capital deposited in the bank at any time t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.You want to create a portfolio equally as risky as the market, and you have $1,200,000 to invest. Consider the following information: Asset Investment Beta Stock A $300,000 0.70 Stock B $360,000 1.25 Stock C 1.55 Risk-free asset Required: (a) What is the investment in Stock C? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.) (b) What is the investment in risk-free asset? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

By looking at the sensivities of your portfolio to δs = -$2 and δσ = -1%, you decide to hedge delta, gamma and Vega risk of your portfolio with the underlying stock and two different options on the same asset with below data. Calculate the units of stock you need to trade to hedge away all delta, gamma and Vega risks of your portfolio.(Note that here you have to calculate the units of stock, Option A and Option B, but you will only submit the units of stock.)Assume that you manage a $10.00 million mutual fund that has a beta of 1.25 and a 9.50% required return. The risk-free rate is 2.20%. You now receive another $15.00 million, which you invest in stocks with an average beta of 0.80. What is the required rate of return on the new portfolio?

- Two call options, A and B, are on the same stock. Their hedge ratios are 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. If a riskfree portfolio of the two calls contains one Call A, then the portfolio needs to contain _______ Call Bs (use negative numbers to mean short positions. Keep 2 decimal places.)You want to create a portfolio equally as risky as the market, and you have $1,000,000 to invest. Given this information, fill in the rest of the following table: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to the nearest whole number.

True or false? Explain. b) Carefully draw the payoff diagram of a portfolio consisting of a long position in two call options with exercise price ?, a short position in five call options with exercise price 2? and a long position in four call options with exercise price 3?.
