7 Problem: To protect the fund from a fall in FTSE below 800 index points. The simple solution: To buy put options on the index at an exercise price of 800 index points Investor need: / ( 0 000) = 500 put contracts If index fall to 700 index poins: The total fund value = ( 700/ 000) 0 mil = = 8.5 mil mil. Insurance is not free: The price of an 800 put option = 40 index poins Total insurance cost: = 0. mil. Manager need: 0. mil. to implement the strategy rather than a 0 mil. To rescale by a factor 0/0. = then a 0 mil. fund need 490 put options, the fund = insurance + invest in shars = mil. = = 0.96 mil mil. The fund would garantee a terminal value: ( 800/000) = 8.83 Level All-share Insured portfolio of index portfolio value Value of shares Value of puts at index 800 Total value of fund , , , , Tab.

10 For each point exceeded 000 the manager would gain = The manager participate in / = 7.7 % of any rise in market ( = / 000 ). The higher the guaranteed value of the fund => the smaller participation in any rise 5 % gain => 0.5 mil. => equivalent index level 00 => /. = = invested in the risk free assets and mil. in calls with price 60 points, / ( 0 60 ) = 84.4 calls The manager participate in 844 / = % of any rise in market ( = / 000 ).
