金融数学题:ATM 期权怎么 delta 对冲。

英文原题

If an option is at- the- money, about how many shares of stock should you hold to

hedge the option?

解析

平值附近 call 的 delta 约为 0.5。

因此:

  • 若你 short 1 张 ATM call,为 delta 中性应 买入约 0.5 股
  • 若你 long 1 张 ATM call,应 卖空约 0.5 股
ATM:对冲股数约为 ±0.5(方向相反)\boxed{\text{ATM:对冲股数约为 }\pm 0.5\text{(方向相反)}}

英文解析

If you sold the option, you should hold about one- half a share to hedge. If you bought the option, you should short about one- half a share to hedge. If you are at- the- money, there is about a fifty- fifty chance the option finishes in- the- money; and with this expectation, you need about one- half a share to hedge.
