在给定行权价、波动率、利率和标的现价的情况下,无限到期的普通欧式看涨期权价值是多少?
What's the value of a vanilla European call option of infinite maturity, and a given strike, volatility, interest rate, and spot price?
解析
如果标的不支付股息,即连续股息率 ,那么执行价为 、现价为 、无风险利率为 、波动率为 的无限到期欧式看涨期权,在 Black-Scholes 模型下的极限价格为:
没有股息时,一份超长期看涨期权几乎等同于持有股票:在足够长的时间范围内,标的价格大概率会超过任意固定的行权价;同时,在极远未来支付固定行权价的现值会趋近于 0,因为 。因此期权价格趋近于股票现价 。
如果标的支付连续股息率 ,则看涨期权价格的极限为
在正股息率下,股票会持续派发价值,而看涨期权持有人拿不到这些股息;在无限期视角下,这部分损失会把期权价值压到 0。
Original Explanation
If the underlying pays no dividends (continuous dividend yield ), the Black-Scholes value of a European call with strike , spot , interest rate , and volatility tends to:
With no dividends, owning a very long-dated call is almost as good as owning the stock: over an arbitrarily long horizon the stock will — with high probability — reach levels far above any fixed strike and, importantly, the present value of paying the fixed strike at that very far future time is essentially zero (because according to the Black-Scholes model). So the call's price approaches the stock price .
If the underlying pays a continuous dividend yield , the call price instead tends to
With positive dividends the stock pays out value over time that the call-holder does not receive, and the present value of those foregone dividends over an infinite horizon wipes out the option's value — the call tends to zero.
