Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 29PS
Hedging Price changes of two gold-mining stocks have shown strong positive correlation. Their historical relationship is
Average percentage change in A = .001 + .75 (percentage change in B)
Changes in 8 explain 60% of the variation of the changes in A (R2 = .6).
- a. Suppose you own $100,000 of A. How much of B should you sell to minimize the risk of your net position?
- b. What is the hedge ratio?
- c. Here is the historical relationship between stock A and gold prices:
Average percentage change in A = −.002 + 1.2 (percentage change in gold price) If R2 = .5, can you lower the risk of your net position by hedging with gold (or gold futures) rather than with stock B? Explain.
