Hull Chapter 7: This starts with the basics of options and then goes on into the specific details of trading. Read up to 7.4 for the crucial details and the rest if youre

2、 still interested. Hull Chapter 8: This is quite interesting but perhaps a little technical at this point in time. The most important part as regards the lecture is 8.4 and perhaps 8.5. 8.1 is interesting to see the crucial factors in determining the price of an option and will be useful for futur

3、e reference (i.e. the last two weeks). Hull Chapter 9: Quite a nice chapter explaining options strategies, Im going to work through a sample of these in class so it may be useful to famililiarise yourselves with the principal strategies. 天馬行空官方博客： ； QQ:1318241189； QQ群： 175569632 Copyright, Martin

4、 Widdicks, 2004 Reading HBR Article: Stock options have had a very negative press of late and here we have Nobel prize winner Robert Merton and other high-profile academics discussing some of the issues and argue for stock options to be put on the balance sheet. This will actually come into force

5、at the start of 2005. Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Futures contracts are contracts which cost nothing to enter. This is because if you are in the long position you gain when the spot price of the underlying asset, S, rises, you also lose when the price goes down (and vice versa with the short p

6、osition). An option is similar in many ways to a futures contract in that you have the right to buy (or sell) at a certain price in the future (this time it is called the exercise price). However, the principal difference is that you dont have the obligation to buy at this price you have the optio

7、n as whether or not you choose to buy (or sell) at this price. Clearly you will have to pay some premium for this privilege. How much? Options: Introduction Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Why options? Options can again be used for three main purposes: hedging, speculating and arbitraging. An o

8、ption enables you to hedge against adverse market movements (e.g. price of oil, price of corn, stock market value, interest rate changes) without, necessarily, limiting your potential gain should the market actually move in your favour. Just like with a futures contract an option enables you to lev

9、erage your position and hence make it easier to speculate on market movements. Again with options as the financial instruments become more complex then there are more arbitrage opportunities to exploit. 天馬行空官方博客： ； QQ:1318241189； QQ群： 175569632 Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Options: definitions

10、 An option gives the holder of the option the right, but not the obligation to buy an economic good (usually called the underlying asset), at a specific point in time (the expiry date), for a specific price (the exercise price). The party who bought the option is said to be in the long position, t

11、he party who sold (or wrote) the option is said to be in the short position. A Call Option gives the holder of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying asset. A Put Option gives the holder of the option the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying asset. Co

12、pyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Options: Types There are two main types of options: European options: European options can only be exercised on the expiry date. American options: American options can be exercised at any time between the date of purchase and the expiry date. These names have no ge

13、ographical significance, hence it is possible to buy American options on European options exchanges. Most traded options are American options, although we will start our discussion by assuming that all options are European. Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Options: Example Consider both call and p

14、ut options on Microsoft shares, expiring on March 20, 2004. Both have exercise prices of $25 and each option enables the holder to buy or sell the Microsoft shares at this price. The current value of Microsoft shares is $27.03. Call options are currently priced at $2.20 and put options at $0.13.

15、Microsoft current option prices Options Product Specifications The payoffs from these options for different values of the Microsoft shares are as follows: 天馬行空官方博客： ； QQ:1318241189； QQ群： 175569632 Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Options: example Value of Microsoft Shares on March 20 ($) Payof

17、ight to exercise and make a profit of the share price less the exercise price. If it is less then he will not, in this case the option expires worthless. In the case of the put option the if the Microsoft share price drops below the exercise price then she will exercise and receive the difference b

18、etween these prices. If it is more then the option expires worthless. From this we note that options must always have positive or zero value as the least they can ever be worth is zero. 天馬行空官方博客： ； QQ:1318241189； QQ群： 175569632 Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Options: leverage Options on individ

19、ual shares are actually 100 shares. Notice that if the value of Microsoft shares at expiry at $30 then the holder of the call option makes a profit of $500 $220 = $280 or a return of 280/220 = 127%. If instead he would have spent this money on buying the shares then the return would have been o

20、nly (30 27.03)/30 = 9.8%. This is an example of the leverage an investor can obtain from buying options rather than the underlying assets themselves. Notice however that is the share price is only $25, then the investor has made returns of 100% (as the option expires worthless) compared to a loss

21、 of 7.5% from buying the shares. Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Payoff from a call option It is possible to depict the payoffs from this call option graphically: 25 Share price at expiry Call option value at expiry (PAYOFF) Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Payoff from a put option and also the

What about for the pe

24、rson who has sold (or written) these options? If you write a call option then it means that, first, you receive the option premium. At the expiry of the option then you are obliged to sell the underlying asset at the exercise price if the holder wishes to buy it. In this case you lose out by the d

25、ifference in the prices, if however, they dont exercise their option then you simply keep the premium. Note that these transactions are zero sum games, whatever the holder gains, the writer loses. It is similar for a put option only you have to buy at the exercise price if the holder wants to sel

26、l. Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Payoff when writing options Returning to the Microsoft example, the payoffs are as follows: Value of Microsoft Shares on March 20 ($) Payoff to writer of call option ($) Payoff to writer of put option ($) 10 0 -15 15 0 -10 20 0 -5 25 0 0 30 -5 0 35 -10 0 40 -15

29、n Widdicks, 2004 Option principles Clearly buying and writing (selling) options is a zero sum game. Everything made by the buyer is lost by the writer and vice versa. Note that both buying calls and selling puts are bets that the market will go up. Buying puts and writing calls are bets that the m

30、arket will go down. This option was treated as if it were a European option abut in reality this option would be American thus exercisable at any time. This would make the analysis slightly different as you would have to consider if there are optimal times to exercise the option. Copyright, Marti

31、n Widdicks, 2004 Options: details On a regulated exchange then the contract between parties is again secured by the exchange or by the Option Clearing Corporation (OCC). In fact if you buy an option you dont have a counterparty, rather you actually buy it from the exchange who it turn buy options f

32、rom parties who want to sell. It is possible to terminate your option position before expiry simply by selling (if you had originally bought) or buying (if you had originally sold), you will make (or lose) the difference between the price you bought or sold at and the price today. Copyright, Mart

33、in Widdicks, 2004 Options more terminology Near-the-money or at-the-money are options where the exercise price is close to the current share price. Out-of-the-money options are options where immediate exercise would produce a negative payoff (i.e the share price is higher than the exercise price f

34、or a put option). In-the-money options are options where immediate exercise would produce a positive payoff (i.e. the share price is higher than the exercise price for a call option). LEAPS are long term options on individual shares or stock indices. FLEX options are options where the investors d

35、etermine the exercise price and expiry dates (See press release document in lecture). Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Option trading strategies There are many ways of combining different types of options contracts to suit an investors particular belief about the market or to hedge a particular r

36、isk. We will work through three main types (although there are many more especially when you include exotic options), these are: Protective positions. Spreads (vertical call, butterfly) Straddles. These will all be explained using Cisco shares as the underlying asset (although the prices are no

37、t actually real prices) Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 The protective put: definition Assume that you own Cisco shares but you are very worried about a large loss. Its current share price is $92.875. To protect against a severe drop in the share price you buy a put option expiring in July with an

38、 exercise price of $95. This currently costs $10.25 bringing your total investment to $103.125. The payoff is given on the next page. Notice that you limit your downside loss to 7.9%, but you pay for this with decreasing returns should the price go up significantly (e.g. 26.1% rather than 40% if t

39、he share price reaches $130).

Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Vertical call spread: definition Spreads consist of positions where you own por

41、tfolios entirely in options. In the vertical call spread you buy a call (with exercise price X) and write a call with a higher exercise price Y). The spread is called a XY vertical call spread. Consider the Cisco July 95-100 spread. Purchase a call with exercise price 95 (cost of $11.25) and write

42、 a call with exercise price 100 (recouping $9.125) which costs you $2.125. It is actually possible to simply buy the spread rather than entering into both the positions. It is also possible to do the same with puts if you have a bearish view of the share. Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Vertical

50、med the insurance portfolio as the portfolio can never have a value less than the exercise price, $55 in this case, which means that the holder of this portfolio can always sell the share for $55 regardless of its price. Clearly regardless of what the share price is then these two portfolios are eq

51、ual in value at the maturity of the options (regardless of how long this actually is). If this is true then the present value of the two portfolios must also be the same, otherwise there will be an arbitrage opportunity. Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Put call parity: arbitrage Assume that the

52、 maturity of the options is one year and that the current share price is $50 and the 1-year risk free rate is 1%. The current price of the put option is $7, and the current value of the risk free asset is 55/(1.01) = $54.46. In this case the call option should have value $2.54 (i.e. $7 + $50 - $54.

53、46 = $2.54). What happens if call options are actually $4? Well the value of portfolio A is $57 and the value of portfolio B is $58.46. You buy low sell high i.e. buy the put and the share and sell the call and borrow $54.46 for 1 year. This gives you a profit today of $2.54. What is your cash flo

54、w at the end of the year? Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Put call parity: arbitrage Buy share + Buy put + Write call + Repay loan = Total 70 0 -15 -55 0 65 0 -10 -55 0 60 0 -5 -55 0 55 0 0 -55 0 50 5 0 -55 0 45 10 0 -55 0 40 15 0 -55 0 35 20 0 -55 0 Payoff from buying portfolio A and selling p

Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Put-call parity: result So you are receiving $2.54 now for no cost, hence this is an arbitrage opportunity. As such these portfolios must be equal in value at any point prior to maturity giving the foll

56、owing result (where X is the exercise price). European Put + Share = European Call + Present value of X This can be rearranged to give the arbitrage portfolio: Put + Share Call Present value of X = 0 Also it can allow you to determine the value of call and put options given the value of the o

57、ther: Put = Call + Present value of X Share Call = Put + Share Present value of X Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Put-call parity: example Given our Microsoft data, does put-call parity hold? We assume that the current risk-free rate is 1.5% p.a, there are 250 trading days in the year and given

58、that the current share price is $27.03 and exercise price is $25. The current value of the put option is $0.125 giving Call = $0.125 + $27.03 $25e-0.015*30/250 Call = $2.20 Thus with these assumptions put-call parity holds. Note that there is a choice of how you calculate the present value, you

59、 can use discrete and continuous compounding but with these time scales then it is probably easier to use continuous compounding. Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Put-call parity:American options Note that put call parity also provides bounds for the value of European call and put options. As we kn

60、ow that both must be worth at least zero then this gives: European Call Share Present value of X European Put Present value of X Share e.g. in the Microsoft example (assuming the same time and risk-free rate) then Call $27.03 - $24.96 = $2.07 This provides us with a very interesting re

61、sult, as the American call option is worth at least as much as the European call then American call Share Present value of X Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Put-call parity: American options However, with an American option it is always possible to exercise early and receive the difference be

62、tween the current share price and the exercise price Share Price X But, we know that the American call is always worth more than Share Price Present value of X which is larger than Share price X. Thus, If the share pays no dividends then it is never optimal to exercise an American call optio

63、n. As such, it has the same price as a European Call option. Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Put-call parity: dividends When we consider shares which pay out dividends then the put-call parity changes to the following: Euro. Put + Share = Euro. Call + PV(X) + PV(Dividends) This again can be

64、used to spot arbitrage opportunities or to value a call given the value of a put or vice versa. Note that the inclusion of a dividend may well mean that an American call option may be exercised before expiry thus making it more valuable than a European call. Note that we still have not arrived at

65、 a method for calculating the value of a European call or put option Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Option pricing: Black-Scholes It is actually a very complicated procedure to come up with the price of an option even a simple European style option. In fact the value of an option is described

66、by the Black- Scholes equation: Where V is the value of the option, S is the value of the asset, t is the time from expiry, r is the risk-free rate and s the volatility of the underlying asset. The value of European Call and Put options are: Copyright, Martin Widdicks, 2004 Option pricing: Black-Scholes Where, and, Unfortunately there do not exist closed form or formulae expressions for the value of American options, thus one must use numerical techniques (e.g. binomial trees, fin
