4 1 Introduction 1.1 Martingale (M t ) t is a martingale if: (M t ) t T is a martingale if: M s = E M t F s M t = E M T F t s t t 1.2 Change of measure Let x > a.s. Define Q (A) = 1 E x E x I A for all events A E Then Q is a probability measure equivalent to P meaning Q (A) = iff P (A) =. Write dq dp = X X Radon-Nikodyn derivative of Q with respect to P. Q (A) = E Q I A = 1.3 Security Price Model Z (t) =asset price A dq = 1 E (x) E x I x A = A E x dp D (t) =cumulative dividend process (assume: D (t) is increasing) Example: Proportional dividend dd (t) = δ (t) Z (t) dt D (t) = t δ (u) Z (u) du 4

5 1 Introduction S (t) =re-invested asset price Defintion: S (t) = Z (t) e t δ(u)du = Z (t) e t Write: θ (t) = e t 1 Z(u) dd(u) 1 Z(u) dd(u) 1.4 Proportional dividends dd (t) = δ (t) Z (t) dt θ (t) = e t δ(u)du θ (t) = θ (t) δ (t) dθ = θ (t) δ (t) dt S =value process of a self financing trading strategy. Example: money market account Suppose a risk free interest rate r Meaning there exists a security with price process S (t) = e rt Currency in a bank Z (t) = 1 S (t) = Z (t) e t rdu = e rt 1.5 Stock price density (Pricing kernel) Absence of arbitrage implies: there exists a stochastic process ρ such that for all T all reinvested asset processes S 1, S 2, t u and event A F t : { S2 (u) E ρ (T ) S 1 (T ) I A S 1 (u) S } 2 (t) = (1.1) S 1 (t) More fundamentally: for any self financing trading strategy θ with value process V θ it is valid: ρ =Arrow Debren state prices V θ () = E ρ (T ) V θ (T ) (1.2) 5

6 1 Introduction Proof of 1.1 from 1.2 We assume no dividends. Consider the following self financing strategy: In event A at time t buy one unit of security 2 and sell S 2(t) S 1 (t) units of security 1. At time u sell the unit of security 2 and buy S 2(u) S 1 (u) units of security 1. Hold until T : V θ (T ) = S 1 (T ) V θ () = This implies 1.1 (Arbitrage!). { S2 (u) S 1 (u) S } 2 (t) I A S 1 (t) Make the change of measure dq dp = ρ (T ) S 1 (T ) S 1 () E ρ (T ) S 1 (T ) = S 1 () { E I Q S2 (u) A S 1 (u) S } 2 (t) = S 1 (t) E Q S2 (u) S 1 (u) I A = E Q S2 (t) S 1 (t) I A S 2 (t) = E Q S2 (u) S 1 (t) S 1 (u) F t A F t, t u t u So it follows that is a Q-martingale. ( ) S2 (t) S 1 (t) t T Example S 1 (t) = e rt e rt S (t) = Q martingale S e rt S (t) = E Q e rt S (T ) Ft We say that we are using security 1 as the numeraire. 6

7 2 Forward contracts Lets define F (t) as the forward price at time t to receive X at time T. If you go long one forward contract at time t in event A F t you profit X F (t) I A : = E ρ (T ) X F (t) I A The goal is that is a Q-martingale. ( ) S2 (t) S 1 (t) t T Take S 1 to be a discount bond (zero bond) maturing at time T (S 1 (t) = e r(t t) ). If there exists a constant risk free rate then it follows: Now write: E ρ (T ) F (t) I A = E ρ (T ) X I A = S 1 () E S 1 () E ρ (T ) S1 (T ) S 1 () F (t) I A ρ (T ) S1 (T ) S 1 () X I A dq dp = ρ (T ) S1 (T ) S 1 () E Q F (t) I A = E Q X I A F (t) = E Q X F t We see that F is a Q-martingale. Changing the measure using a discount bond as numeraire is called the forward measure. If there is a constant risk free rate r then S 1(T ) S 1 () = ert. Using a discount bond as numeraire gives you some Q as using money market account. More generally if the risk free rate is deterministic then the price of a discount bond equals r(u)du S 1 (t) = e T t S 1 (T ) = e T r(u)du S 1 () 7

8 2 Forward contracts Example: Suppose you go long one forward at time and buy F () discount bonds. What is the value at time t? At time T you receive F (t) F (). The value at t is equal to F (t) F () S 1 (t) where S 1 (t) is the price of a discount bond maturing at time T. A portfolio including F () discount bonds is worth F (t) S 1 (t). Now check if this is valid at time T : V (T ) = X F (T ) S 1 (T ) = F (T ) }{{} = X 1 Making definitions more understandable X = E y F t Definition: E x I A = E y I A Write ε = y x so that y = x + ε Now take x to be F t measurable E y F t = x + E ε F t = x iff E ε F t = Definition: E y I A = E (x + ε) I A = E x I A + E ε I A = E x I A iff E ε I A = A F t We see that Define E ε F t = iff E ε I A = A F t E ε A = A εdp P (A) = E I A ε P (A) P (B A) = P (B A) P (A) = E I A I B P (A) = A I B (w) dp (w) P (A) E ε I A = A F t 8

9 2 Forward contracts We see that defining E ε F t = means that E ε A = A F t 2.1 Forward on a dividend paying security We assume that the dividends are deterministic and proportional. dd (t) = δ (t) Z (t) dt δ is non random S (t) = Z (t) e t δ(u)du The forward contract has a value of Z (T ) F () at time T. A Portfolio of a long forward and long F () discount bonds has a value of F () S 1 (t) or F () S 1 (T ) = Z (T ) at time T (S 1 is the price of the discount bond). An equivalent portfolio would be buying e T δ(u)du shares of the security at time. At time T we then have one share with value Z (T ). We see that if r is deterministic. e T δ(u)du Z () = F () S 1 () F () = 1 e T δ(u)du Z () S 1 () }{{} e T t r(u)du = e T (r(u) δ(u))du Z () 9

10 3 Stock options The value of an european call with strike price K and maturity T at time is equal to E ρ (T ) Z (T ) K + = E ρ (T ) Z (T ) I {Z(T )>K} + E ρ (T ) K I {Z(T )>K} }{{}}{{} : Use S 1 as price of a discount bond maturing at T E ρ (T ) K I {Z(T )>K} = S 1 () E ρ (T ) S1 (T ) S 1 () K I {Z(T )>K} = K S 1 () E Q I {Z(T )>K} = K S 1 () Q (Z (T ) > K) : Z (T ) equals the value of a portfolio of one forward on the security long and F () discount bonds long. The value of the portfolio at time is F () S 1 (): E Z (T ) ρ (T ) Z (T ) I {Z(T )>K} = F () S 1 () E ρ (T ) F () S 1 () I {Z(T )>K} = F () S 1 () E Q I{Z(T )>K} = F () S 1 () Q (Z (T ) > K) Specials case: deterministic proportional dividends F () S 1 () = e T δ(u)du Z () Z (T ) F () S 1 () = e T δ(u)du Z (T ) Z () = S (T ) S () Q is the measure obtained by using the reinvested asset price as numeraire. In particular, if δ =, then Q is obtained by using the stock price as numeraire. To really calculate the probabilities one has to be specific on the dynamics of S 1 and S 2 ; here comes the geometric brownian motion in. 1

11 4 International Finance Lets define X (t) as the exchange rate, i.e. the units of domestic currency per units of foreign currency. Let S f be a reinvested asset price in foreing currency. Then X (t) S f (t) equals the reinvested asset price in domestic currency. If S 1 is a domestic asset then X Sf S 1 is a Q-martingale, using S 1 as numeraire. { X (u) S f (u) E ρ (T ) S 1 (T ) I A X (t) } Sf (t) = A F t, t u T S 1 (u) S 1 (t) (4.1) Take S 1 (t) = X (t) S f 1 (t) for some foreign currency Sf 1. { } E ρ (T ) X (t) S f 1 (t) I S f (u) A S f 1 (u) Sf (t) S f 1 (t) = Now define ρ f as It follows: X () E ρ f (t) = ρ f (T ) S f 1 (t) I A ρ (t) X (t) X () { } S f (u) S f 1 (u) Sf (t) S f 1 (t) = (4.2) This looks like in chapter 2 on forwards. For all foreign reinvested assets prices S f 2 the expression Sf 2 (t) S f 1 (t) is a Qf -martingale where P is the same all over the world! dq f dp = ρf (T ) S f 1 (T ) S f 1 () Price of any foreign currency denominated claim y f at time T The value at time t = is equal to E ρ (T ) X (T ) y f (T ) ρ (T ) X (T ) = X () E y f (T ) X () 11

12 4 International Finance Now plug in formula 4.2 and we get X () E ρ f (T ) y f (T ) Foreign currency value at t = is E ρ f (T ) y f (T ) Example: Think of a foreign stock option with strike price set in foreign currency. No dividends are paid and the risk free rate is assumed to be constant. What is the value at t = in domestic currency? The simplest approach is to calculate (compare with chapter 3) X () E ρ f (T ) S f (T ) K f + = = X () F () S 1 () Q (S (T ) > K) K S }{{} 1 () Q (S (T ) > K) }{{} S() e rt Q is using the stock as numeraire; Q is using the money market account as numeraire. Example: Same as above, but now the strike price is in domestic currency. E ρ (T ) X (T ) S f (T ) K + = = E ρ (T ) X (T ) S f (T ) I {X(T ) S f (T )>K} E ρ (T ) K I {X(T ) S f (T )>K} The first part of the equation uses the foreign stock in foreign currency as numeraire; the second part uses the domestic discount bond as numeraire. 12

13 5 Definitions 5.1 Variations For a function f : R R the total variation of f is defined as i f The quadratic variation of f is defined as i f 2 i i If the total variation of f is finite, then the quadratic variation is equal to zero ( f has finite variation ). Suppose f is continously differentiable, then f (t) = f () + t and f has finite variations. We write df = f (x) dx. Suppose M is a continous martingale. Then either f (x) dx 1. with probability one the paths of M t M (t, ω) ω Ω have finite variations OR 2. M is constant a.s. Definition: We write the quadratic variation of M over, t as Then M 2 M, M is a martingale. M, M (t) 13

14 5 Definitions Definition: If M is a continous martingale then M is a Brownian Motion iff M, M (t) = t We write d M, M = dt or (dm) 2 = dt Definition: For two functions f, g : R R we define f, g = lim i i f i g If M and N are continous martingale then MN M, N is a martingale and M, N is called the covariance process of M and N. 5.2 Ito s Lemma Let dx = µ (t) dt + σ (t) dw with W being a Wiener process. If f = C 2 (i.e. it is a smooth, twice differentiable function) then it follows f (X t ) = f (X ) + X, X (t) = = t t t σ (u) 2 d W, W σ (u) 2 du f (X u ) dx u t d X, X (t) = σ (t) 2 dt df = f (x) {µdt + σdw} f (x) σ2 dt f (X u ) d X, X (u) Now let two processes X and Y be defined as If f is a smooth function it follows dx = µ X dt + σ X dw 1 dy = µ Y dt + σ Y dw 2 df (X (t), Y (t)) = δf δf dx + δx δy dy δ2 f δx 2 d X, X δ2 f δy 2 d Y, Y + δ2 f δxδy d X, Y d X, X = σxdt 2 d Y, Y = σ 2 Y dt d X, Y = σ X σ Y d W 1, W 2 d W 1, W 2 (t) = ρ (t) dt for some ρ < 1 14

15 5 Definitions 5.3 Girsonov s Theorem Let W be a Brownian motion on {Ω, F, P } and Q be a probability measure equivalent to P. Now define ξ = dq dp and set ξ (t) = E ξ F t. If we assume that dξ = λ (t) ξ (t) dw (t) for some λ then W (t) ˆ=W (t) + is a Brownian motion under Q. Further t λ (u) du dw = dw + λdt W, W = W, W = t 5.4 Martingale representation theorem Let the filtration (F t ) t be generated by the Brownian motion W. If M is a martingale, then there exists a Φ such that dm = ΦdW M (t) = M () + t Φ 1 (s) dw 1 (s) + We know that dξ = ΦdW and we write λ = Φ ξ. t Φ 2 (s) dw 2 (s) +... Equivalent statement The following statement is a Q-Brownian Motion: dw = dw 1 ξ d ξ, W We have so that d ξ, W = λ ξd W, W 1 d ξ, W = λdt ξ A Brownian motion W under P with up/down probability equal to 1 2 : 15

16 5 Definitions dt 2 dt Time dt 2 dt Now we look at W with drift: dt + λdt 2 dt + 2 λdt Time dt + λdt 2 λdt 2 dt + 2 λdt To make it a martingale the up probability must be 1 λ dt 2 = 1 λdw 2 and the down probability must be λ dt 2 = 1 λdw 2 First time step: Q 1 P 1 = 1 λdw 1 Q P = 1 λdw Second time step: Q 2 P 2 = (1 λdw 1 ) (1 λdw }{{} 2 ) Q 1 P 1 General: Q P Q P = Q 2 P 2 Q 1 P 1 Q 1 P 1 = λdw 1 Watch the sign! 16

17 5 Definitions From the theorem we see dξ ξ Q (A) P (A) = λdw = E ξ A 17

18 6 Valuation of stock options We assume a constant risk free rate r and no dividends. The value at time t = is equal to S Q (S (T ) > K) e rt K Q (S (T ) > K) }{{}}{{} where Q uses the stock as numeraire and Q uses the money market as numeraire. We further assume that ds S = µdt + σdw for constant µ and σ. : Under Q S e rt is a martingale (compare with chapter 5.2): d ( ) X Y d ( ) X Y X Y dx = µ X dt + σ X dw 1 dy = µ Y dt + σ Y dw 2 F (X, Y ) = X ( = S ) Y e rt δf δx = 1 Y δf δy = X Y 2 δ 2 F δ = 2 F = 2 X δx 2 δy 2 Y 3 = dx Y XdY Y 2 δf δxδy = 1 Y X Y 3 d Y, Y 1 Y 2 d X, Y = dx X dy Y + d Y, Y Y 2 d X, Y X Y d ( S e rt ) S e rt = ds S rdt = (y r) dt + σdw 1 Now set ξ = dq dp. By the martingale representation theorem dξ ξ = λdw for some λ By Girsonov s theorem we know that dw = dw + λdt 18

19 6 Valuation of stock options is a Q Brownian motion. d ( ) S e rt S = (µ r) dt + σ (dw λdt) e rt = (µ r σ λ) dt + σdw The difference of two martingales is again a martingale. So µ r σ λ = or if we rewrite the term This term is called the price of risk. We know that λ = µ r σ ds S = µdt + σdw = µdt + σ (dw + λdt) = rdt + σdw So we can calculate Q is unique! S (t) = S () e rt 1 2 σ2 t+σw (t) log S (t) = log S () + (r 12 ) σ2 t + σw (t) Q (S (T ) > K) = Q (log S (T ) > log K) ( = Q σw (T ) > log K log S () ( = Q W (T ) ) < d 2 T = N d 2 d 2 = log S () log K + ( r 1 2 σ2 T ) σ T (r 12 ) ) σ2 T : Now calculate S () Q (S (T ) > K) with Q using the stock as numeraire. 19

20 6 Valuation of stock options We know that e rt S(t) is a Q martingale and that for some λ the term dw = dw + λdt defines a Q Brownian motion. Further we know ds = µ Sdt + σ SdW d S, S = σ 2 S 2 dt Using Ito we calculate d ( ) e rt S(t) e rt S(t) = rdt ds S + d S, S S 2 = rdt µdt σdw + σ 2 dt = ( r µ + σ 2) dt σ (dw λdt) = ( r µ + σ 2 + σ λ ) dt σdw We conclude r µ + σ 2 + σ λ = ds = µdt + σ (dw λdt) S = ( µ + r µ + σ 2) dt + σdw = ( r + σ 2) dt + σdw log S (t) = log S () + (r + σ 2 12 ) σ2 t + σw (t) ( Q (S (T ) > K) = Q W ) (T ) < d 1 T = N d 1 d 1 = log S () log K + ( r σ2) T σ T 2

21 7 Stochastic parameters 7.1 Stochastic interest rates We know that ds S = µdt + σ (t) dw and that the money market account is equal to e t r(u)du. Discount bond maturing at T with bond price B and dynamics db = µ B dt + σ B dw. The forward measure uses the discount bond as numeraire. The second term in Black-Scholes: We calculate B () K Q (S (T ) > K) = E ρ (T ) K I {S(T )>K} e t r(u)du B (t) ( ) t e d r B t e r B = Q martingale = rdt db B + d B, B B 2 = ( r µ B + σ 2 B) dt σb dw Using dw = dw + λdt it follows Further we calculate r µ B + σ 2 B + σ B λ = ds = µdt + σdw S = µdt + σ (dw λdt) ( = µ σ µ B r σ 2 ) B dt + σdw σ B t ( log S (t) = log S () + µ σ µ B r σ 2 1 B σ B 2 σ2 ( T { = Q µ σ µ B + σ σ B 1 } σ B 2 σ2 du + T ) du + t σ σ B rdu + σdw T ) σdw > logk 21

23 7 Stochastic parameters It must be µ r λ 1 v λ 2 ρ v = We have one equation but two unknowns (λ 1 and λ 2 ); we have an incomplete market and can t price via arbitrage. So we do equilibrium pricing, i.e. we are making some assumptions. ds S = µdt + vdw 1 = µdt + v (dw 1 λ 1dt λ 2 ρdt) = rdt + vdw 1 dv = κ (θ v) dt + σ vdw 2 = κ (θ v) dt + σ v (dw2 λ 1 ρdt λ 2 dt) dξ = λ 1 dw 1 λ 2 dw 2 ξ The state variable (volatility) is not traded! We are make assumption about λ 1 and λ 2 ; if we assume that λ 2 =, then λ 1 = µ r v. dv = {κ (θ v) dt (µ r) ρ σ} dt + σ vdw 2 = κ (θ v) dt + σ vdw 2 θ (µ r) ρ σ = θ θ > κ If we assume that λ 2 = we assume that the volatility risk is not priced. According to Hull&White If the path is known T Value of a call option: Q (S (T ) > K path of v) logs (T ) = logs () + r T 1 2 T vdw 1 N, vdt T T vdt + vdw 1 T T S () E N Q d 1 v = σ 2 T K e rt E N d 2 v = σ 2 T N d 1 and N d 2 are close to linear, so we approximate S () N d 1 K e rt N d 2 23

25 8 Risk neutral measure The money market measure is equal to the risk neutral measure Q. dq dp = ρ (T ) S1 (T ) S 1 () If S 1 is equal to the money market dq dp = ρ (T ) e T Let Q be the measure using the stock as numeraire: r(u)du ds S = µ S (t) dt + σ S (t) dw P whereas W P is a P Brownian motion. Now write S under Q: whereas W is a Q Brownian motion. ds S = rdt + σ S (t) dw dq = ρ (T ) S (T ) dp S () dq dq = dq dp dp dq = ρ (T ) S (T ) S () = e T r(u)du S (T ) S () 1 ρ (T ) e T r(u)du 25

26 8 Risk neutral measure Anything divided by the money market account S () is a martingale. E Q ( d e e e T rdu S (T ) S () ξ = dq dq ξ (t) ) = E Q ξ (T ) F t t r S t r S F t dξ ξ = rdt + ds S = σ S (t) dw = e t rdu S (t) S () = ξ (t) The term dξ ξ is always equal to the stochastic part of ds S. Recipe 1. Write model down under Q 2. Change to different numeraire 3. dw = dw With the stock as numeraire Write S under Q dξ ξ ( ) dξ ξ dw = σ S (t) dw = stochastic part of new numeraire dw = dw σ S dw dw = dw σ S dt ds = rdt + σ S dw S = rdt + σ S (dw + σ S dt) = ( r + σs 2 ) dt + σs dw W ˆ= Q Brownian Motion 26

27 9 Heston s model Under P ds = µdt + vdw 1 S dv = κ (θ v) dt + σ vdw 2 Now put ξ = dq dp and remember that W 1, W 2 = ρdt; by martingale representation: Under the risk neutral measure Q dξ ξ = λ 1 dw 1 λ 2 dw 2 dw1 = dw 1 dξ ξ dw 1 = dw 1 + λ 1 dt + λ 2 ρdt dw2 = dw 2 dξ ξ dw 2 = dw 2 + λ 1 ρdt + λ 2 dt ds S µ λ 1 v λ 2 ρ v = r = µdt + v (dw 1 λ 1 dt λ 2 ρdt) = ( µ λ 1 v λ 2 ρ v ) dt + vdw 1 Heston takes whereas λ is constant. Under Q he writes (λ 1 + λ 2 ρ) σ v = λ v dv = κ (θ v) dt + σ v (dw 2 λ 1 ρdt λ 2 dt) = κ (θ v) dt (λ 1 ρ λ 2 ) σ vdt + σ vdw 2 = κ (θ v) dt λ vdt + σ vdw 2 = κ (θ v) dt + σ vdw 2 κ = κ + λ θ = κ θ κ + λ 27

28 9.1 Heston s model under Q 9 Heston s model whereas W 1 and W 2 are Q Brownian motions. The value of an european call option is equal to ds = rdt + vdw 1 S dv = κ (θ v) dt + σ vdw 2 S () Q (S (T ) > K) e rt K Q (S (T ) > K) where Q uses the stock as numeraire. When we change from Q to Q Under Q We assume So we can write ξ = dq dq dξ = vdw 1 ξ dw1 = dw 1 dξ ξ dw 1 = dw 1 vdt dw2 = dw 2 dξ ξ dw 2 = dw 2 v ρdt ds = (r + v) dt + vdw1 S dv = κ (θ v) dt + σ ρ vdt + σ vdw 2 dw 1 dw 2 = ρdt d W 1, W 2 = ρdt S (t) = S () e rt 1 2 t vdu+ t vdw1 t log S (t) = log S () + rt 1 2 d log S (t) = (r 12 ) v dt + vdw 1 vdu + t vdw1 28

We want: Q (S (T ) > K) = f (log S (), v (), ) It is important to check the boundary conditions: lim x f (x, v, t) = 1 lim t T f (x, v, t) = lim x f (x, v, t) = Further we look at Q (S (T ) > K) and set g (x, v, t) = E Q I S(T )>K log S (t) = x log v (t) = v { 1 x > log K x log K 29

30 9 Heston s model Drift of dg under Q Only the drift changes if we go from Q to Q! δg (r δx + 12 ) v + δg δv κ (θ v) + δg δt δ2 g δx 2 v δ2 g δv 2 σ v + δ2 g δxδv σ ρ v = We want the distribution of S (T ) under Q and Q. As a characteristic function identifies the distribution it suffices to find this characteristic funtion of log S: lnφ = E Q i Φ log S(T e ) Consider the following term: E Q e i d log S(T ) log S (t) = x log v (t) = v = k (x, v, t, Φ) For fixed Φ the term k (log S (t), v (t), t, Φ) is a Q martingale; it satisfies the PDE (df under Q). Now we guess a solution: log k (x, v, t, Φ) is an affine function of x and v with the parameters depending on t and Φ. 3

31 1 Futures contracts Define G (t) as the futures price for delivery of X at time T, whereas X is in currency units. If we buy a future at time and sell at time t we make a profit equal to G (t) G (). In fact the gain through t is Under Q: t e r (t s) dg (s) Therefore e rt t t d e r (t s) dg (s) = t e r s dg (s) e r s dg (s) = e r s dg (s) G (t) = E Q X F t F (t) = E Q X F t where Q is the forward measure using the discount bond as numeraire. If interest rates are deterministic Q is equal to Q, because T r dq dp = ρ (T ) e 1 dq 1 = ρ (T ) dp e T r = B () e T r 31

32 11 Foreign exchange Define X (t) as the exchange rate, i.e. the price of foreign currency in units of domestic currency. Use Q as the domestic risk neutral measure. For any foreign reinvested asset price S f the term e t rdu X (t) S f (t) is a Q martingale. Take S f for the money market account S f = e t rf du The term is a Q martingale. e t (r f r)du X (t) ( ) d e (r t f r)du X (t) e t (r f r)du X (t) = ( ) r f r dt + dx X So the drift of dx X = ( r r f) dt and we see dx ( X = r r f) dt + σ X (t) dw X (t) where W X is a Q Brownian motion. e t (r f r)du X (t) = E Q e T (r f r)du X (T ) F t X (t) = E Q e T t (r f r)du X (T ) F t Suppose that r f and r are constant. X (t) = E Q e (rf r) (T t) X (T ) F t = e (rf r) (T t) E Q X (T ) F t = e (rf r) (T t) G (t) where G (t) is a covered interest parity. 32

33 11 Foreign exchange 11.1 Foreign risk neutral measure We define Q as the foreign risk neutral measure, meaning that e t rf du S f (t) is a Q Brownian motion for all reinvested assets S. The domestic price is therefor given as E ρ (T ) X (T ) S f (T ) = X () E ρ (T ) X (T ) X () Sf (T ) = X () E ρ f (T ) S f (T ) ρ f (T ) = ρ (T ) X (T ) X () So 1 X() domestic price = foreign price = E ρ f (T ) S f (T ) and ρ f is a foreign state price density. The foreign risk neutral measure is given by Remember that Therefore Now set As the term can t have a drift, dξ ξ dq dp = ρf (T ) e T rf (t)dt dq dp = ρ (T ) e T r(t)dt dq dq = dq dp dp dq = ρ f e T rf dt 1 ρ (T ) e T = e T (r f r)dt X (T ) X () ξ = dq dq rdt ξ (t) = E Q ξ (T ) F t = E Q e T (r f r)dt X (T ) X () F t = e t (r f r)du X (t) X () is the stochastic part of dx X dξ ( ) ξ = r f r dt + dx X dξ ξ = σ X (t) dw X (t) 33

34 12 Quanto forward We are using the same pricing as in chapter 11.1 with the foreign asset S f and the forward price K in foreign currency. We fix the exchange rate at maturity as X, so the contract pays X (S f (T ) K ) in domestic currency at time T Straight forward on a foreign asset Pays X (S f (T ) K ) in domestic currency, where X is a contract-fixed exchange rate. Start under Q: dx ( X = r r f) dt + σ X dw X where W X is a Q Brownian motion. Know that is Q martingal. e rt X (t) S f (t) ds f S f = µ S dt + σ S dw S d ( e rt X (t) S f (t) ) e rt X (t) S f = rdt + dx (t) X + dsf S f + d X, S f }{{ X S f } where ρ is the correlation process of W X and W S. The drift of d(x Sf ) X S f must be rdt ( = rdt + r r f) dt + σ X dw X + µ S dt + σ S dw S + σ X σ S ρdt must be rdt. d ( X S f) X S f = dx X + dsf S f = + d X, S f X S f ( r r f) dt + σ X dw X + µ S dt + σ S dw S + σ X σ S ρdt Now compute the drift: ( ) r r f + µ S + σ X σ S ρ = r 34

35 12 Quanto forward It follows that µ S = r f σ X σ S ρ and so ds f S f = (r f σ X σ S ρ) dt + σ S dw S So we see that the drift of dsf S f is equal to the risk free rate minus the correlation of dx X with dsf S f. Now compute ) e rt E Q X (S f (T ) K = e rt X E Q S f (T ) e rt X K S f (T ) = S f () e (r f σ S σ X ρ 1 2 σ2 S) T +σ S W S (T ) E Q S f (T ) = S f () e (r f σ S σ X ρ) T Wrong calculation (ignore this) Pays S f (T ) K in foreign currency at time T. We start with a domestic point of view; the value of this contract is equal to e rt E Q X (T ) S f (T ) K = e rt E Q X (T ) S f (T ) e rt E Q X (T ) K = e rt X () S f () K e rt futures rate For this to be fairly priced K must be equal to K = spot rate futures rate Sf () Under the Q domestic risk neutral measure the value must be ) e rt E Q X (S f (T ) K = e rt X E Q S f (T ) e rt X K 35

Covered interest parity: X () = e (rf r) T G () E Q X (T ) K = K e (r rf ) T X () Now we know e rt X () S f () K e (r rf ) T X () = K = e rt S f () 12.3 Synthetic Forward Construct a portfolio, where we buy the asset and borrow S f () in foreign currency: we owe e rt S f () at time T.

Under Q dx X = ( r r f) dt σ X dw x ξ = dq dq dξ ξ = σ XdW X For any other Q Brownian motion W we define a Q Brownian motion as for some γ. Given two Brownian motions, W 1 and W 2, dw = dw σ X γdt Then the term d (W 1 ) (W 2 ) = d W 1, W 2 n W 1, W 2 (t) = lim partitions ( W 1 ) ( W 2 ) W 1 (t) W 2 (t) W 1, W 2 (t) 1 38

The payoff of the put, with exercise price K, is K Z (T ) + 1 = K Z (T ) Z (T ) 1 + K The interpretation is that exchanging one share of K units of currency is equivalent to buying the currency at a price equal to one share, or equivalent to K purchases of a currency unit, each 1 at cost K when measured in shares. The price of a currency unit in shares is of course 1 Z(T ). Use this formula and a change of measure to show that the value of the put is given by the Black- Scholes call option formulae when we interchange Z () with K and interchange r with δ in the formula.

This gives = rdt (T t) σdw (t) dw = dw + (T t) σdt t W (t) = W (t) + (T s) σds ( ) = W (t) + σ T t t2 2 > σ (u So r (t) = r () + θ (t) σ 2 ( ) T t t2 + σ W (t) 2 The option is written on the u-maturity bond and dp (t, u) P (t, u) = rdt (u t) σdw (t) = rdt + σ 2 (T t) (u t) dt (u t) σdw (t) So P (T, u) = P (, u) e T r(t)dt+σ2 = P (, u) e T r()+ T θ(t)dt σ2 T (T t) (u t)dt σ T (u t)dw (t) σ2 2 T (u t)2 dt 2 T 3 3 u2 T 2 σ (u T ) W (T ) Thus P (T, u) > K iff T ( log P (, u)+t r ()+ θ (t) dt σ 2 2 T 3 3 u2 T 2 ) σ (u T ) W (T ) > log K 54
