ATM 时 call 与 put 为何同价()
All assumptions hold 2
题目详情
All Black- Scholes assumptions hold. Assume no dividends. Consider a standard European call and a standard European put on the same stock. Assume that each option has the same maturity, and is struck at- themoney (i.e., strike equals current spot). For the sake of simplicity, assume that the interest rate is zero. Draw the payoff diagrams for each option (i.e., terminal payoff to option versus level of underlying).
The put has limited downside potential and no upside; the call has unlimited upside and no downside. Given the random direction of the stock price movements between now and expiration, the disparity in potential payoffs seems to suggest that the call should be worth more than the put. However, put- call parity says that this is not so. Verify the put- call parity implications and reconcile them with the seemingly disparate potential payoffs.
解析
put-call parity:
当 且 ATM()时,,因此
直觉:对数正态分布有右偏,call 的大额收益概率更低但收益更大,put 的收益更小但更常发生,风险中性期望恰好相等。
