1 Hedging volumetric risks using put options in commodity markets Alexander Kulikov joint work with Andrey Selivanov Gazprom Export LLC Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
2 Outline Definitions and motivation NA approach and Tail approaches Case of constant volume and solution of different optimization problems Example for random volume
3 Suppose that our income is VS, V random volume, S random price.
4 Suppose that our income is VS, V random volume, S random price. Motivation: how to choose hedge with value function g(s) such that X = VS + g(s) is optimal, i.e.
5 Suppose that our income is VS, V random volume, S random price. Motivation: how to choose hedge with value function g(s) such that X = VS + g(s) is optimal, i.e. U(X ) max, U utility function; EX ασ(x ) max; VaR(X ) min (ess inf X max).

7 Value function of optimal hedge g(p) in the case of utility maximization ([OD06]) using CARA and joint lognormal distribution:
8 Distribution of income X in presence of hedge ([OD06]):
9 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Hedging using put options, and Tail
10 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Let us hedge using buying a number of put options. So the income of our portfolio will be as follows: Questions: X = VS + h((k S) + P(K)), h 0. how to maximize ), )? optimal h? optimal K? optimal pair (h, K)?
11 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Definition 2.1. ([?]) Suppose λ (0, 1]. Consider the set { D λ = Q : dq } dp 1/λ. Let us construct the function u λ (X ) = inf Q D λ E Q X, X L 0. This is a coherent utility function. The corresponding coherent risk measure is called Tail V@R of level λ.
12 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Suppose V 1 and S has lognormal distribution. Then due to [V11] we have that the optimal h for the fixed K is as follows: h (K) =, λ > Φ(ln(K P(K))), h (K) = 1, λ min(φ(ln(k P(K))), Φ(ln K) Φ(ln(K P(K)))). Theorem 2.4. Suppose h 0. Also suppose that here and further NA condition is fulfilled for the model with options. Then there exists λ 0 > 0 such that for λ < λ 0 the optimal hedge is as follows: (h, K ) = (1, ). So in this case it is optimal to sell the forward on basic asset.
13 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Suppose h 0. Suppose V 1 and S U[0, 1]. Solution for the fixed K is as follows:
14 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume As a result we have that for λ min(1 K P(K 0 ), 1 P(1), P(1)), where the optimal hedge is as follows: K 0 : P (K 0 ) = 1/2, (h, K ) = (1, 1), q λ = 1 P(1). So in this case it is optimal to sell the forward on basic asset.
15 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Theorems and conclusions
16 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Theorem 3.1. Suppose V is a nonnegative random variable and S is a random variable such that for all x supps we have that (x, ess inf V ) supp(s, V ). Then for all K and for measure of risk essential infinum we have the optimal hedge as follows: h (K) = ess inf V, ess inf X (K) = K P(K). And also we have that the optimal K = ess sup S. So in this case it is optimal to sell the infinum number of forwards on basic asset.
17 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Theorem 3.2. Suppose V is a nonnegative random variable such that P(V = ess inf V ) > 0 and S is a random variable such that supps = supp(s V = ess inf V ) Then for all K there exists λ 0 such that for λ < λ 0 the optimal hedge is as follows: h = ess inf V, ess inf X (K) = K P(K). And also we have λ 0 such that for λ < λ 0 the optimal K = ess sup S. So in this case it is optimal to sell the infinum number of forwards on basic asset.
18 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Example with random volume
19 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume Consider the following example: Let V U[1, b], S U[0, 1] and they are independent. Then due to the Theorem 3.1. we have that for all K and for measure of risk essential infinum we have the optimal hedge as follows: h (K) = ess inf V, ess inf X (K) = K P(K). And also we have that the optimal K = 1. So in this case it is optimal to sell the infinum number of forwards on basic asset. Let us for fixed K define λ(k)(a, h) = P(VS + h((k S) + P(K)) a).
20 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume The picture for λ(k)(a, h)
21 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume The picture for λ(k)(a 0, h) for small a 0 K P(K) is as follows: So for λ = λ 0, q λ (h) = a 0, h = h 0 1.
22 Case of constant volume and lognormal distribution Case of constant volume and uniform distribution Theorems Random volume The picture for λ(k)(a 1, h) for large a is as follows: So for λ = λ 1, q λ (h) = a 1, h =.
