1 0 Aercan Control Conference on O'Farrell Street San Francsco CA USA June 9 - July 0 0 Optal Hedn for Multvarate Dervatves Based on Addtve Models Yu Yaada Abstract In ths paper we consder optal hedes for a class of dervatve securtes whose underlyns are untraded usn the addtve su of sooth functons of traded assets that nzes the ean square error Based on the necessary and suffcent condton we derve a ethodoloy to copute optal sooth functons effcently by solvn a syste of lnear equatons Moreover we extend the dea to basket optons consstn of a portfolo of stocks where ndvdual payoff functons of traded assets are optally coputed We also provde nuercal experents to llustrate our ethodoloy I ITODUCTIO To explan the otvaton of ths work let us consder the standard nu varance hedn proble ven as nvar Y α S α where Y and S are prce chanes of two assets Y and S n a certan te perod and α s a hede rato In a typcal stuaton the asset Y can not be traded frequently n the arket whereas S ay be a lqudly traded asset It s known that the optal hede rato denoted by α provdes the nzer of n E { Y α S+c} αc whch ay be solved as an ordnary lnear reresson ven eprcal observaton data In ths sense the standard nu varance hede of s equvalent to the sple ordnary lnear reresson proble The standard nu varance hede ay be eneralzed for nonlnear case n whch a nonlnear sooth functon f s searched to nze the follown ean square error: E { Y f S} 3 In the case where ultple assets are avalable the proble ay be forulated as follows { } n E f S Y f S 4 where S are prce chanes of asset S and S s a set of sooth functons Obvously the proble addresses the standard nu varance hede or ore enerally the ultvarate nu varance hede usn ultvarate lnear reresson as a specal case when f s lnear and therefore we can expect to et the better hede Y Yaada s wth Graduate School of Busness Scences Unversty of Tsukuba Tokyo Japan -00 E-al: yu@ssotsukatsukubaacp UL: effect Ths s our basc dea n our prevous work 0 that we appled the eneralzed addtve odel GAM; see 5 9 for constructn optal payoff functons of weather dervatves ven eprcal observaton data The obectve of ths paper s to provde a theoretcal fraework for nonlnear nu varance hedn n contnuous te settn For ths obectve we frst forulate the nonlnear nu varance hedn proble and provde a necessary and suffcent condton for the optal sooth functons Then we derve an alorth to copute the optal sooth functons based on the sutable dscretzaton and deonstrate the optal hedes Moreover we extend the dea to the basket optons case whose underlyn s defned as the wehted averae of any stocks II POBLEM FOMULATIO Let Y t t 0 T be the value of an asset ben nontraded or llqud and S t the values of lqudly traded assets under a probablty space Ω F P and fltraton {F t } t 0T We consder the proble of hedn the payoff of dervatve securty on Y t usn the addtve su of sooth functons of S t To ths end we defne the nonlnear nu varance hedn proble as follows: { } n E f S Y T f S T 5 where Y T stands for the ternal payoff of a dervatve securty wth a ven payoff functon ote that Y t ay be the value of portfolo as n Secton V Also note that the proble forulaton of 5 s slhtly dfferent fro that of 4 as t nzes the ean square error between the ternal payoff Y T and the su of f S T Althouh we do not know how to fnd the optal sooth functons yet there exsts a necessary and suffcent condton for optal sooth functons f f as follows: Lea : Sooth functons f f provde nzers of the proble 5 f and only f the follown condtons are satsfed: EY T S T E f S T S T 0 6 Proof: For the proof see pp 08 n 5 In ths paper we deonstrate how to copute the sooth functons f f satsfyn Lea Before shown the soluton ethod for sooth functons we dscuss how to replcate f S T as cash values Snce each f s a sooth functon //$600 0 AACC 3856

2 there are two approaches to attan f S T The frst approach s to use European type calls and puts wth aturty T and any strkes where any twce contnuously dfferentable functon fx of the ternal stock prce S T x can be replcated by a unque ntal poston of f S 0 f S 0 S 0 unt dscount bounds f S 0 shares and f KdK out-of-the oney optons of all strkes K 3: f x f S 0 f S 0 S 0 + f S 0 x + S0 0 f KK x + dk + S 0 f Kx K + dk 7 The advantae of ths approach s that we do not have to estate any paraeters such as volatltes or ean rates of returns of the underlyn assets once the taret payoff functon f s specfed The second approach s to dynacally trade S t to replcate the ternal payoff f S T For ths approach to be applcable we need to ntroduce prce dynacs for Y t and S t naely the dynac hedn odel ote that n ths fraework althouh the total arket s ncoplete snce Y t s not tradable each payoff f S T ay be replcated by tradn S t dynacally We further dscuss ths approach n Secton IV III SOLUTIO METHOD FO OPTIMAL SMOOTH FUCTIOS ecall that fro Lea the proble reduces to fndn a set of real-valued functons f f satsfyn where E f S T ST x EYT S T x 8 E f S T S T x f x 9 Assue that there exst ont PDFs of pars S T S T and Y T S T denoted by and φ S S x x 0 φ YS y x respectvely Also let φ S S x x and φ Y S y x be condtonal PDFs defned as φ S S x x : φ S S x x φ S x φ Y S y x : φ YS y x φ S x where φ S x are arnal PDFs Then condton 8 ay be rewrtten as follows: f x + f x φ S S x x dx y φ Y S y x dy We would lke to fnd f such that holds for sutable doan of nput varables Here we provde a soluton ethod whch conssts of the follown three steps: Dscretze condton for y x and x densons to obtan a set of lnear equatons Solve the set of lnear equatons to fnd dscretzed ponts of sooth functons 3 Construct sooth functons usn cubc splnes ote that the above ethod ay be appled f the ont PDFs of pars n Y T and S T are specfed Frst we dscretze condton to approxate the nterals as f x + l l f x l φ S S y l φ Y S y l x δ y x l x δ x 3 for ven x where δ x and δ y are assued to satsfy l φ S S x l x δ x l φ Y S y l x δ y ote that δ x and δ y ay depend on x as well but we wll ot to specfy that dependence for brevty We then dscretze condton 3 for x densons e x k k as f l x k + l y l φ Y S f x l y l x k φ S S δ y x l x k δ x Let f and be vectors whose k-th entres are respectvely ven as f k : f x k k : y k k Also let Φ y and Φ be atrces whose k l-entres are ven as Φ k l : φ S S x l x k δ x Φ y k l : φ Y S y l k x δ y kl Wth these defntons and notatons we have the follown proposton: Proposton : For each condton ay be dscretzed as f + Φ f Φ y 4 Consequently we obtan the follown syste of lnear equatons wth respect to f : f f : Φf ĝ
