题目详情

有两份平值(ATM)欧式看涨期权,二者到期时间 TT、波动率 σ\sigma、无风险利率 rr 完全相同,但一个标的现价 S0=100S_0=100,另一个标的现价 S0=200S_0=200

问:哪个期权的 Vega 更大?

You have two at-the-money (ATM) European call options with identical time to maturity (TT), volatility (σ\sigma), and risk-free rate (rr). However, one option is on a stock with a spot price S0=100S_0 = 100, and the other is on a stock with S0=200S_0 = 200. Which option has the higher Vega?

解析

Black-Scholes 下看涨期权 Vega 为

ν=Cσ=S0φ(d1)T,\nu=\frac{\partial C}{\partial \sigma}=S_0\,\varphi(d_1)\sqrt{T},

其中 φ\varphi 为标准正态密度。

“ATM”通常指 K=S0K=S_0,此时两份期权的 d1d_1 相同,所以 φ(d1)\varphi(d_1) 相同,TT 也相同。

因此 Vega 与 S0S_0 成正比,S0=200S_0=200 的那份 Vega 更大(约为另一份的 2 倍)。
