8 3 Implied delta versus delta Daily delta-neutral rebalancing of a portfolio short one option and long shares in the underlyer. Compare the P&L trajectories obtained by cumulating the following increments: δp &L = δπ + δs with positions in the underlyer at date t given by: the delta of the option, that is BS = S Π BS T,K(t, S; Σ T,K ) where Σ T,K denotes the Black Scholes volatility of the option; S. Crépey Page 6
9 or, alternatively, the delta of the option, that is loc = S Π T,K (t, S; σ) where σ is a volatility function calibrated with the volatility surface observed at date t.

11 4 Theoretical analysis Analysis using a volatility model (Vanilla option) If σ σ(t, S), then δp&l loc = δπ + loc δs = 1 2 S2 Γ loc (σ(t, S) 2 τ ( δs S ) 2 ) + o(τ) where Π, loc and Γ loc are the option s price and its Greeks in the model. So, by positivity of Γ loc (vanilla option) Proposition 4.1 Whether δp&l loc is negative or positive depends on whether the realized volatility δs S is above or below the volatility τ σ(t, S). Proposition 4.2 Asymptotically as τ 0: a. δp&l loc is driven by terms in τ and (δs) 2 ; b. δp&l BS = δp&l loc + ( BS loc ) δs remains directional. S. Crépey Page 9
12 Moreover, following Coleman et al 01 Π T,K (t, S; σ) = Π T,K (t, S; Σ T,K ) loc = BS + vega BS S Σ S Σ K Σ. So, Proposition 4.3 For negative skews: loc BS δp &L BS δp &L loc iff δs 0. Market regime Slow Fast Rally 0 δp&l loc δp&l BS δp&l loc (δp&l BS ) Sell-Off (δp&l BS ) + δp&l loc δp&l BS δp&l loc 0 Table 1: Vanilla option in a negatively skewed volatility model. S. Crépey Page 10
13 Proposition 4.4 In a negatively skewed volatility model, given a moderately small rebalancing time interval τ (such as one day): a. the delta provides a better hedge in a slow rally or a fast sell-off, while the delta may provide a better hedge, though to a lesser extent, in a fast rally or a slow sell-off; b. provided we have physical as well as negative skewness, the delta is better on average, as well as on average conditionally on the fact that the market is in a fast regime, or on average conditionally on the fact that the market is in a slow regime. S. Crépey Page 11
14 Analysis in real markets (Vanilla option) Decompose the P&L increments as δp&l loc = ( δπ loc + loc δs) + (δπ loc δπ) (2) δp&l BS = ( δπ loc + BS δs) + (δπ loc δπ) δπ is the increment of the option s market price between t and t + τ δπ loc is the increment of the price predicted by the volatility model calibrated at date t, given the new value of the underlyer at date t + τ On the right-hand side of (2): the first terms behave as in the previous analysis; the market-makers revise their anticipations between t and t + τ according to the new value of the underlyer observed at t + τ. It is reasonable to expect that δπ loc δπ in fast market regimes whereas δπ δπ loc in slow market regimes. S. Crépey Page 12
15 Then the situation depicted in Table 1 still holds true in the real market. So, Proposition 4.5 Assuming reversion of volatilities towards realized volatilities, proposition 4.4 applies not only in volatility models, but also in real markets. Overall recommendation Use the delta rather than the delta, in a persistently negatively skewed market By comparison, Derman 99 implies that, in negatively skewed markets, the delta should not be worse or could even be better on average conditionally on the fact that the market is in a slow regime, while the delta should be better on average conditionally on the fact that the market is in a fast regime. In Derman 99 the question of knowing which delta is better on average is left unanswered. S. Crépey Page 13
16 Extensions Same recommendation for hedging an option with mixed Gamma/Vega exposure (reverse barrier) and/or in a persistently positively skewed market.

27 6 Markets & Models Assuming reversion of volatilities towards realized volatilities, the delta should be preferred to the Black Scholes delta in negatively skewed markets, provided that the physical underlying process as well as the risk-neutral process are negatively skewed. The fact that fast markets may exhibit more physical negative skewness than slow markets might be an explanation for the results in Vähämaa 03 according to which the outperformance of the delta compared to the delta is more significant in fast markets. So Derman s intuition may be right. Moreover, we draw the same conclusions in the case of positively skewed markets, and we show that our conclusions are true when transaction costs are taken into account. S. Crépey Page 25
28 When barrier options are considered we find that the delta outperforms the delta but there is a need to resort to more elaborate multi-instrument hedging schemes in multi-factor models in order to obtain acceptable absolute hedging performances. The tree captures the anticipations by the agents today of the marginal laws of S (unless American options are used) Fitting the joint dynamics of the smile and the underlyer Bergomi 04 δp&l mod = ( δπ mod + mod δs) + (δπ mod δπ) ATM volatility and skew dynamics Correlation between volatility changes and returns in the underlyer Implied trees are appropriate in markets where the negative correlation (both risk-neutral and physical) between returns in the underlyer and volatility changes is the dominant effect Highly volatile or jumpy markets S. Crépey Page 26
29 Low credit stocks, Interest or exchange rates with economically significant (such as central-bank) support levels Limitations of volatility Flattening forward volatility surfaces at least in SV Prices Generating Processes, such as the Heston model. In equity index markets jumps are important in the short term Case of symmetric smiles FX markets One factor models are misspecified in general Bakshi Cao Chen 2000 One should allow for independant moves between volatility and the underlyer Stochastic volatility Overdetermined VolOfVol in Heston model One parameter to account for the market skew and volatility moves Bad skew dynamics in (pure, at least) jump models S. Crépey Page 27
30 Use a good basic model (beyond Black Scholes?) with corrections depending on the market and/or instrument under study, or go for more elaborate models Market models of volatility surfaces Schönbucher 99, Brace et al but beware of the realism of the underlyer s dynamics Stochastic trees Derman Kani 98 Local volatility + stochastic volatility SABR model Hagan et al 02 or an improvement that would incorporate some mean reversion of volatility, Dupire s Reech Capital Model Local vol + Stoch vol + Jumps Albanese and Kuznetsov 04 S.
