CHAPTER 13Wiener P rocesses and Itô’s LemmaPractice QuestionsProblem 13.1.What would it mean to assert that the temperature at a certain place follows a Markov process? Do you think that temperatures do, in fact, follow a Markov process?Imagine that you have to forecast the future temperature from a) the current temperature, b) the history of the temperature in the last week, and c) a knowledge ofseasonal averages and seasonal trends. If temperature followed a Markov process, the history of the temperature in the last week would be irrelevant.To answer the second part of the question you might like to consider the following scenario for the first week in May:(i) Monday to Thursday are warm days; today, Friday, is a very cold day. (ii) Monday to Friday are all very cold days.What is your forecast for the weekend? If you are more pessimistic in the case of the second scenario, temperatures do not follow a Markov process.Problem 13.2.Can a trading rule based on the past history of a stock’s price ever produce returns that are consistently above average? Discuss.The first point to make is that any trading strategy can, just because of good luck, produce above average returns. The key question is whether a trading strategy consistently outperforms the market when adjustments are made for risk. It is certainly possible that a trading strategy could do this. However, when enough investors know about the strategy and trade on the basis of the strategy, the profit will disappear.As an illustration of this, consider a phenomenon known as the small firm effect. Portfolios of stocks in small firms appear to have outperformed portfolios of stocks in large firms when appropriate adjustments are made for risk. Research was published about this in the early 1980s and mutual funds were set up to take advantage of the phenomenon. There is some evidence that this has resulted in the phenomenon disappearing.Problem 13.3.A company’s cash position, measured in millions of dollars, follows a generalized Wiener process with a drift rate of 0.5 per quarter and a variance rate of 4.0 per quarter. How high does the company’s initial cash position have to be for the company to have a less than 5% chance of a negative cash position by the end of one year?Supp ose that the company’s initial cash position is x . The probability distribution of the cash position at the end of one year is (40544)(2016)x x ϕϕ+⨯.,⨯=+.,where ()m v ϕ, is a normal probability distribution with mean m and variance v . The probability of a negative cash position at the end of one year is204x N +.⎛⎫- ⎪⎝⎭where ()N x is the cumulative probability that a standardized normal variable (with mean zero and standard deviation 1.0) is less than x . From normal distribution tables200054x N +.⎛⎫-=. ⎪⎝⎭when:20164494x +.-=-.i.e., when 45796x =.. The initial cash position must therefore be $4.58 million.Problem 13.4.Variables 1X and 2X follow generalized Wiener processes with drift rates 1μ and2μ and variances 21σ and 22σ. What process does 12X X + follow if:(a) The changes in 1X and 2X in any short interval of time are uncorrelated?(b) There is a correlation ρ between the changes in 1X and 2X in any short interval of time?(a) Suppose that X 1 and X 2 equal a 1 and a 2 initially. After a time period of length T , X 1 has the probability distribution2111()a T T ϕμσ+,and 2X has a probability distribution2222()a T T ϕμσ+,From the property of sums of independent normally distributed variables, 12X X + has the probability distribution()22112212a T a T T T ϕμμσσ+++,+i.e.,22121212()()a a T T ϕμμσσ⎡⎤+++,+⎣⎦This shows that 12X X + follows a generalized Wiener process with drift rate 12μμ+and variance rate 2212σσ+.(b) In this case the change in the value of 12X X + in a short interval of time t ∆ has the probability distribution:22121212()(2)t t ϕμμσσρσσ⎡⎤+∆,++∆⎣⎦If 1μ, 2μ, 1σ, 2σ and ρ are all constant, arguments similar to those in Section 13.2 show that the change in a longer period of time T is22121212()(2)T T ϕμμσσρσσ⎡⎤+,++⎣⎦The variable,12X X +, therefore follows a generalized Wiener process with drift rate12μμ+ and variance rate 2212122σσρσσ++.Problem 13.5.Consider a variable,S , that follows the process dS dt dz μσ=+For the first three years, 2μ= and 3σ=; for the next three years, 3μ= and 4σ=. If the initial value of the variable is 5, what is the probability distribution of the value of the variable at the end of year six?The change in S during the first three years has the probability distribution (2393)(627)ϕϕ⨯,⨯=,The change during the next three years has the probability distribution (33163)(948)ϕϕ⨯,⨯=,The change during the six years is the sum of a variable with probability distribution(627)ϕ, and a variable with probability distribution (948)ϕ,. The probability distribution of the change is therefore (692748)ϕ+,+ (1575)ϕ=,Since the initial value of the variable is 5, the probability distribution of the value of the variable at the end of year six is (2075)ϕ,Problem 13.6.Suppose that G is a function of a stock price, S and time. Suppose that S σ and G σ are the volatilities of S and G . Show that when the expected return of S increases by S λσ, the growth rate of G increases by G λσ, where λ is a constant.From Itô’s lemmaG S GG S Sσσ∂=∂Also the drift of G is222212G G G S S S t S μσ∂∂∂++∂∂∂where μ is the expected return on the stock. When μ increases by S λσ, the drift of Gincreases byS GS Sλσ∂∂ orG G λσThe growth rate of G , therefore, increases by G λσ.Problem 13.7.Stock A and stock B both follow geometric Brownian motion. Changes in any short interval of time are uncorrelated with each other. Does the value of a portfolio consisting of one of stock A and one of stock B follow geometric Brownian motion? Explain your answer.Define A S , A μ and A σ as the stock price, expected return and volatility for stock A. Define B S , B μ and B σ as the stock price, expected return and volatility for stock B. Define A S ∆ and B S ∆ as the change in A S and B S in time t ∆. Since each of the two stocks follows geometric Brownian motion,A A A A A S S t S μσε∆=∆+B B B B B S S t S μσε∆=∆+where A ε and B ε are independent random samples from a normal distribution.()(A B A A B B A A A B B B S S S S t S S μμσεσε∆+∆=+∆++This cannot be written as()()A B A B A B S S S S t S S μσ∆+∆=+∆++for any constants μ and σ. (Neither the drift term nor the stochastic term correspond.) Hence the value of the portfolio does not follow geometric Brownian motion.Problem 13.8.S S t S μσε∆=∆+ where μ and σ are constant. Explain carefully the difference between this model andeach of the following:S t S S t S t S μσεμσεμσε∆=∆+∆=∆+∆=∆+Why is the model in equation (13.8) a more appropriate model of stock price behavior than any of these three alternatives?In:S S t S μσε∆=∆+ the expected increase in the stock price and the variability of the stock price are constant when both are expressed as a proportion (or as a percentage) of the stock price In:S t μ∆=∆+the expected increase in the stock price and the variability of the stock price are constant in absolute terms. For example, if the expected growth rate is $5 per annum when the stockprice is $25, it is also $5 per annum when it is $100. If the standard deviation of weekly stock price movements is $1 when the price is $25, it is also $1 when the price is $100. In:S S t μ∆=∆+the expected increase in the stock price is a constant proportion of the stock price while the variability is constant in absolute terms. In:S t S μσ∆=∆+the expected increase in the stock price is constant in absolute terms while the variability of the proportional stock price change is constant. The model:S S t S μσ∆=∆+ is the most appropriate one since it is most realistic to assume that the expected percentage return and the variability of the percentage return in a short interval are constant.Problem 13.9.It has been suggested that the short-term interest rate,r , follows the stochastic process()dr a b r dt rc dz =-+where a , b , and c are positive constants and dz is a Wiener process. Describe the nature of this process.The drift rate is ()a b r -. Thus, when the interest rate is above b the drift rate is negative and, when the interest rate is below b , the drift rate is positive. The interest rate is therefore continually pulled towards the level b . The rate at which it is pulled toward this level is a . A volatility equal to c is superimposed upon the “pull” or the drift.Suppose 04a =., 01b =. and 015c =. and the current interest rate is 20% per annum. The interest rate is pulled towards the level of 10% per annum. This can be regarded as a long run average. The current drift is 4-% per annum so that the expected rate at the end of one year is about 16% per annum. (In fact it is slightly greater than this, because as the interest rate decreases, the “pull” decreases.) Superimposed upon the drift is a volatility of 15% per annum.Problem 13.10.Suppose that a stock price, S , follows geometric Brownian motion with expected return μ and volatility σ: dS S dt S dz μσ=+What is the process followed by the variable n S ? Show that n S also follows geometric Brownian motion.If ()n G S t S ,= then 0G t ∂/∂=, 1n G S nS -∂/∂=, and 222(1)n G S n n S -∂/∂=-. Using Itô’s lemma:21[(1)]2dG nG n n G dt nG dz μσσ=+-+This shows that n G S = follows geometric Brownian motion where the expected return is21(1)2n n n μσ+-and the volatility is n σ.

CH99.1 股票现价为$40。
已知在一个月后股价为$42或$38。
无风险年利率为8％（连续复利）。
执行价格为$39的1个月期欧式看涨期权的价值为多少？ 解：考虑一资产组合：卖空1份看涨期权；买入Δ份股票。
若股价为$42，组合价值则为42Δ－3；若股价为$38，组合价值则为38Δ 当42Δ－3＝38Δ，即Δ＝0.75时，组合价值在任何情况下均为$28.5，其现值为：，0.08*0.0833328.528.31e −=即：－f ＋40Δ＝28.31 其中f 为看涨期权价格。
所以，f ＝40×0.75－28.31＝$1.69另解：（计算风险中性概率p ） 42p －38（1－p ）＝，p ＝0.56690.08*0.0833340e期权价值是其期望收益以无风险利率贴现的现值，即： f ＝（3×0.5669＋0×0.4331）＝$1.690.08*0.08333e−9.2 用单步二叉树图说明无套利和风险中性估值方法如何为欧式期权估值。
解：在无套利方法中，我们通过期权及股票建立无风险资产组合，使组合收益率等价于无风险利率，从而对期权估值。
在风险中性估值方法中，我们选取二叉树概率，以使股票的期望收益率等价于无风险利率，而后通过计算期权的期望收益并以无风险利率贴现得到期权价值。
9.3什么是股票期权的Delta ？解：股票期权的Delta 是度量期权价格对股价的小幅度变化的敏感度。
即是股票期权价格变化与其标的股票价格变化的比率。
9.4某个股票现价为$50。
已知6个月后将为$45或$55。
无风险年利率为10％（连续复利）。
执行价格为$50，6个月后到期的欧式看跌期权的价值为多少？ 解：考虑如下资产组合，卖1份看跌期权，买Δ份股票。
若股价上升为$55，则组合价值为55Δ；若股价下降为$45，则组合价值为：45Δ－5 当55Δ＝45Δ－5，即Δ＝－0.50时，6个月后组合价值在两种情况下将相等，均为$－27.5，其现值为：，即：0.10*0.5027.5$26.16e −−=− －P ＋50Δ＝－26.16所以，P ＝－50×0.5＋26.16＝$1.16 另解：求风险中性概率p0.10*0.505545(1)50p p e+−= 所以，p ＝0.7564看跌期权的价值P ＝0.10*0.50(0*0.75645*0.2436)$1.16e −+=9.5 某个股票现价为$100。

第2章期货市场的运作机制第一部分本章要点1．期货市场的具体运作机制。
将讨论合约条款的约定、保证金账户的运作、交易所的组织结构、市场监管规则、期货报价方式及期货的财会和税务处理等内容。
我们还将讨论，并解释造成这两类合约所实现的收益不同的原因。
2．期货与远期合约的不同之处。
第二部分重难点导学2.1 背景知识假定现在是3月5日，一位纽约的投资者指示他的经纪人买入5000蒲式耳玉米，资产交割时间在7月份，经纪人会马上将这一指令通知芝加哥交易所。
同时，假定另一位在堪萨斯州的投资者指示她的经纪人卖出5000蒲式耳玉米，资产交割时间也是7月份，她的经纪人也会马上将客户的指令通知芝加哥交易所。
这时双方会同意某个交易价格，从而交易成交。
几个概念：期货的长头寸（long futures position）；期货的短头寸（short futures position）。
期货价格（futures price）；期货合约的平仓。
2.2 期货合约的规定·资产品种·合约的规模·交割地点·交割时间有时交割资产的备选方案也会被说明。
2.2.1 资产商品期货标的资产的质量可能有很大差别。
金融期货合约中的标的资产定义通常明确。
2.2.2 合约的规模合约的规模（contract size）：每一合约中交割资产的数量。
2.2.3 交割的安排交割地点必须由交易所指定，这对那些运输费用昂贵的商品尤其重要。
当选用交割地点时，期货的短头寸方所收入的价格会随着交割地点的不同而得以调整。
期货交割地点离商品生产地越远，交割价格越高。
2.2.4 交割月份期货合约通常以其交割月份来命名。
交易所必须指定交割月份内的准确交割时间。
对于许多期货而言，交割时间区间为整个月。
2.2.5 报价交易所定义报价的方式各不相同，例如，在美国，原油期货报价以美元和美分计量，而中长期国债期货报价是以1美元以及1/32美元来报价的。
2.2.6 价格和头寸的限额跌停（limit down）：价格下跌的金额等于每日价格限额。

第二部分重难点导学9.1 期权的类型看涨期权（call option）给期权持有者在将来一定时刻以一定的价格买入某种资产的权利；看跌期权（put option）给期权持有者在将来一定时刻以一定价格卖出某资产的权利。
美式期权可在到期之日前的任何时刻行使；欧式期权只能在到期日才能行使。
9.1.1 看涨期权例9-1：考虑某投资者买入当前价格为98美元，执行价格为100美元的100股股票的欧式看涨期权，期权的到期日为4个月，购买一股股票的期权价格为5美元。

1.5对冲、投机和套利之间的区别共同点：都是通过低买高卖或者高卖低买获利，都基于对未来市场预期的判断不同点：投机风险大，看涨看跌均没有保护性套期具有保护性对冲，如果货币市场流动性没问题，风险较低2.1 什么是逐日盯市逐日盯市制度，是指结算部门在每日闭市后计算、检查保证金账户余额，通过适时发出追加保证金通知，使保证金余额维持在一定水平之上，防止负债现象发生的结算制度。
2.2 保证金制度如何可以保证投资者免受违约风险？为了保证投资者保证金账户的资金余额在任何情况下都不为负值，设置了维持保证金，若保证金账户的余额低于维持保证金，投资者就会收到保证金催付，这部分资金称为变动保证金。
如果投资者未提供变动保证金，经纪人将出售该合约来平仓。
2.3一个交易的完成，会对未平仓合约数量产生什么样的影响?若交易是开仓，数量增加，若交易是平仓，则是减少2.4一天内发生的交易数量可以超过交易结束时未平仓合约的数量吗?交易数量包括开仓数量和平仓数量，若开仓=平仓，就会使未平仓数量为02.5设计一个新的期货合约时需要考虑哪几个重要方面？选择期货合约的标的资产、合约规模、交割月份3.1对冲的本质是什么？定义：为了减低另一项投资的风险而进行的投资。
目的：选择期货头寸，从而使得自身整体的投资风险尽量呈中性。
方法：用于对冲的期货交易，与需对冲的资产交易相比，头寸相等，在将来确定的时刻，操作方向相反。

通常一个变量的远期值是通过一个在时间T收益为S T－K的远期合约来计算的，它是对应于使合约价值为0的价格K。
一般来讲，远期债券收益率是远期债券价格所隐含的利率。
假定B T是在时间T的一个债券价格，y T为其收益率。
B T与y T之间（债券定价）的关系式为：B T＝G（y T）定义B F为时间T到期的合约在时间0的远期债券价格，y F为时间0的远期债券收益率。
由定义得出：B F＝G（y F）函数G为非线性函数。
这意味着，当将来债券价格的期望值等于远期债券价格时（于是我们在一个对于时间T到期的零息债券为风险中性世界里），将来的债券期望收益率并不等于远期债券收益率。
这一点可通过图30-1来说明。
假定只有三种可能的债券价格B1、B2和B3，假如债券价格的间隔是相同的，即B2－B1＝B3－B2。
债券的远期价格是债券的期望值B2。
由债券价格，可以计算出三个具有相同可能性的收益率：y1、y2和y3。
这些收益率之间的间隔并不相同。
变量y2为远期债券的收益率，这是因为它对应于远期债券价格。
债券收益率的期望值为y1、y2和y3的平均值，显然该平均值大于y2。
图30-1 在时间T 时债券价格与债券收益率的关系对于一个收益依赖于时间T 的债券收益率的衍生产品，可以通过以下过程来定价：（a ）在对于时间T 到期的零息债券为远期风险中性的世界里计算收益的期望值；（b ）以当前期限为T 的无风险利率进行贴现。
在所考虑的世界里，债券价格期望值等于远期价格。
因此，需要计算当债券价格期望值等于远期价格时债券收益率的期望值。
债券收益率的期望值可以由以下近似式表示()()()2212F T T F F y F G y E y y y T G y ''=-'σ （30-1）式中G ′和G ″表示函数G 的一阶和二阶偏导数，E T 表示在一个对于计价单位P （t ，T ）为远期风险中性世界里的期望值，σy 为远期收益率的波动率。

CHAPTER 13Wiener Processes and Itô’s LemmaPractice QuestionsProblem 13.1.What would it mean to assert that the temperature at a certain place follows a Markov process? Do you think that temperatures do, in fact, follow a Markov process?Imagine that you have to forecast the future temperature from a) the current temperature, b) the history of the temperature in the last week, and c) a knowledge of seasonal averages and seasonal trends. If temperature followed a Markov process, the history of the temperature in the last week would be irrelevant.To answer the second part of the question you might like to consider the following scenario for the first week in May:(i) Monday to Thursday are warm days; today, Friday, is a very cold day.(ii) Monday to Friday are all very cold days.What is your forecast for the weekend? If you are more pessimistic in the case of the second scenario, temperatures do not follow a Markov process.Problem 13.2.Can a trading rule based on the past history of a stock’s price ever produce returns that are consistently above average? Discuss.The first point to make is that any trading strategy can, just because of good luck, produce above average returns. The key question is whether a trading strategy consistently outperforms the market when adjustments are made for risk. It is certainly possible that a trading strategy could do this. However, when enough investors know about the strategy and trade on the basis of the strategy, the profit will disappear.As an illustration of this, consider a phenomenon known as the small firm effect. Portfolios of stocks in small firms appear to have outperformed portfolios of stocks in large firms when appropriate adjustments are made for risk. Research was published about this in the early 1980s and mutual funds were set up to take advantage of the phenomenon. There is some evidence that this has resulted in the phenomenon disappearing.Problem 13.3.A company’s cash position, measured in millions of dollars, follows a generalized Wiener process with a drift rate of 0.5 per quarter and a variancerate of 4.0 per quarter. How high does the company’s initial cash position have to be for the company to have a less than 5% chance of a negative cash position by the end of one year?Supp ose that the company’s initial cash position is x .

Changes in any short interval of time are uncorrelated with each other. Does the value of a portfolio consisting of one of stock A and one of stock B follow geometric Brownian motion? Explain your answer.Define A S , A μ and A σ as the stock price, expected return andvolatility for stock A. Define B S , B μ and B σ as the stock price, expected return and volatility for stock B. Define A S ∆ and B S ∆ as the change in A S andB S in time t ∆.

For example, if the expected growth rate is $5 per annum when the stock price is $25, it is also $5 per annum when it is $100.

In:S t S μσ∆=∆+the expected increase in the stock price is constant in absolute terms while the variability of the proportional stock price change is constant. The model:S S t S μσ∆=∆+ is the most appropriate one since it is most realistic to assume that the expected percentage return and the variability of the percentage return in a short interval are constant.Problem 13.9.It has been suggested that the short-term interest rate,r , follows the stochastic process()dr a b r dt rc dz =-+where a , b , and c are positive constants and dz is a Wiener process. Describe the nature of this process.The drift rate is ()a b r -. Thus, when the interest rate is above b the drift rate is negative and, when the interest rate is below b , the drift rate is positive. The interest rate is therefore continually pulled towards the level b . The rate at which it is pulled toward this level is a . A volatility equal to c is superimposed upon the “pull” or the drift.Suppose 04a =., 01b =. and 015c =. and the current interest rate is 20% per annum. The interest rate is pulled towards the level of 10% per annum. This can be regarded as a long run average. The current drift is 4-% per annum so that the expected rate at the end of one year is about 16% per annum. (In fact it is slightly greater than this, because as the interest rate decreases, the “pull” decreases.) Superimposed upon the drift is a volatility of 15% per annum.Problem 13.10.Suppose that a stock price, S , follows geometric Brownian motion with expected return μ and volatility σ: dS S dt S dz μσ=+What is the process followed by the variable n S ?

CHAPTER 13Wiener P rocesses and It?’s LemmaPractice QuestionsProblem 13.1.What would it mean to assert that the temperature at a certain place follows a Markov process? Do you think that temperatures do, in fact, follow a Markov process?Imagine that you have to forecast the future temperature from a) the current temperature, b) the history of the temperature in the last week, and c) a knowledge ofseasonal averages and seasonal trends. If temperature followed a Markov process, the history of the temperature in the last week would be irrelevant.To answer the second part of the question you might like to consider the following scenario for the first week in May:(i) Monday to Thursday are warm days; today, Friday, is a very cold day. (ii) Monday to Friday are all very cold days.What is your forecast for the weekend? If you are more pessimistic in the case of the second scenario, temperatures do not follow a Markov process.Problem 13.2.Can a trading rule based on the past history of a stock’s price ever produce returns that are consistently above average? Discuss.The first point to make is that any trading strategy can, just because of good luck, produce above average returns. The key question is whether a trading strategy consistently outperforms the market when adjustments are made for risk. It is certainly possible that a trading strategy could do this. However, when enough investors know about the strategy and trade on the basis of the strategy, the profit will disappear.As an illustration of this, consider a phenomenon known as the small firm effect. Portfolios of stocks in small firms appear to have outperformed portfolios of stocks in large firms when appropriate adjustments are made for risk. Research was published about this in the early 1980s and mutual funds were set up to take advantage of the phenomenon. There is some evidence that this has resulted in the phenomenon disappearing.Problem 13.3.A company’s cash position, measured in millions of dollars, follows a generalized Wiener process with a drift rate of 0.5 per quarter and a variance rate of 4.0 per quarter. How high does the company’s initial cash position have to be for the company to have a less than 5% chance of a negative cash position by the end of one year?Supp ose that the company’s initial cash position is x . The probability distribution of the cash position at the end of one year is (40544)(2016)x x ϕϕ+⨯.,⨯=+.,where ()m v ϕ, is a normal probability distribution with mean m and variance v .

The probability distribution of the change is therefore (692748)ϕ+,+ (1575)ϕ=,Since the initial value of the variable is 5, the probability distribution of the value of the variable at the end of year six is (2075)ϕ,Problem 13.6.Suppose that G is a function of a stock price, S and time. Suppose that S σ and G σ are the volatilities of S and G . Show that when the expected return of S increases by S λσ, the growth rate of G increases by G λσ, where λ is a constant.From It?’s lemmaG S GG S Sσσ∂=∂Also the drift of G is222212G G G S S S t S μσ∂∂∂++∂∂∂where μ is the expected return on the stock.

Changes in any short interval of time are uncorrelated with each other. Does the value of a portfolio consisting of one of stock A and one of stock B follow geometric Brownian motion? Explain your answer.Define A S , A μ and A σ as the stock price, expected return and volatility for stock A. Define B S , B μ and B σ as the stock price, expected return and volatility for stock B. Define A S ∆ and B S ∆ as the change in A S and B S in time t ∆.

J o h n H u l l期货期权和衍生证券章习题解答公司内部档案编码：[OPPTR-OPPT28-OPPTL98-OPPNN08]CHAPTER 13Wiener P rocesses and It’s LemmaPractice QuestionsProblem .What would it mean to assert that the temperature at a certain place follows a Markov process Do you think that temperatures do, in fact, follow a Markov processImagine that you have to forecast the future temperature from a) the current temperature, b) the history of the temperature in thelast week, and c) a knowledge of seasonal averages and seasonal trends. If temperature followed a Markov process, the history of the temperature in the last week would be irrelevant.To answer the second part of the question you might like to consider the following scenario for the first week in May:(i) Monday to Thursday are warm days; today, Friday, is a very cold day.(ii) Monday to Friday are all very cold days.What is your forecast for the weekend If you are more pessimistic in the case of the second scenario, temperatures do not follow a Markov process.Problem .Can a trading rule based on the past history of a stock’sprice ever produce returns that are consistently above average Discuss.The first point to make is that any trading strategy can, just because of good luck, produce above average returns. The key question is whether a trading strategy consistently outperforms the market when adjustments are made for risk. It is certainly possible that a trading strategy could do this. However, when enough investors know about the strategy and trade on the basis of the strategy, the profit will disappear.As an illustration of this, consider a phenomenon known as the small firm effect. Portfolios of stocks in small firms appear to have outperformed portfolios of stocks in large firms when appropriateadjustments are made for risk. Research was published about this in the early 1980s and mutual funds were set up to take advantage of the phenomenon. There is some evidence that this has resulted in the phenomenon disappearing. Problem .A company’s cash position, measured in millions of dollars, follows a generalized Wiener process with a drift rate of per quarter and a variance rate of per quarter. How high does thecompany’s initial cash position have to be for the company to have a less than 5% chance of a negative cash position by the end of one yearSuppose that the company’s initial cash position is x . The probability distribution of the cash position at the end of one year is (40544)(2016)x x ϕϕ+⨯.,⨯=+.,where ()m v ϕ, is a normal probability distribution with mean m and variance v .

Problem .Variables 1X and 2X follow generalized Wiener processes withdrift rates 1μ and 2μ and variances 21σ and 22σ. What process does 12X X + follow if:(a)The changes in 1X and 2X in any short interval of time are uncorrelated(b)There is a correlation ρ between the changes in 1X and 2X inany short interval of time(a)Suppose that X 1 and X 2 equal a 1 and a 2 initially. After a time period of length T , X 1 has the probability distribution2111()a T T ϕμσ+,and 2X has a probability distribution2222()a T T ϕμσ+,From the property of sums of independent normally distributedvariables, 12X X + has the probability distribution()22112212a T a T T T ϕμμσσ+++,+.,22121212()()a a T T ϕμμσσ⎡⎤+++,+⎣⎦This shows that 12X X + follows a generalized Wiener process withdrift rate 12μμ+ and variance rate 2212σσ+.(b) In this case the change in the value of 12X X + in a short interval of time t ∆ has the probability distribution:22121212()(2)t t ϕμμσσρσσ⎡⎤+∆,++∆⎣⎦If 1μ, 2μ, 1σ, 2σ and ρ are all constant, arguments similar to those in Section show that the change in a longer period of time T is22121212()(2)T T ϕμμσσρσσ⎡⎤+,++⎣⎦The variable,12X X +, therefore follows a generalized Wiener processwith drift rate 12μμ+ and variance rate 2212122σσρσσ++. Problem .Consider a variable,S , that follows the processdS dt dz μσ=+For the first three years, 2μ= and 3σ=; for the next three years, 3μ= and 4σ=. If the initial value of the variable is 5, what is the probability distribution of the value of the variable at the end of year sixThe change in S during the first three years has the probability distribution(2393)(627)ϕϕ⨯,⨯=,The change during the next three years has the probability distribution(33163)(948)ϕϕ⨯,⨯=,The change during the six years is the sum of a variable with probability distribution (627)ϕ, and a variable with probability distribution (948)ϕ,. The probability distribution of the change is therefore (692748)ϕ+,+(1575)ϕ=,Since the initial value of the variable is 5, the probabilitydistribution of the value of the variable at the end of year six is (2075)ϕ,Problem .Suppose that G is a function of a stock price, S and time. Suppose that S σ and G σ are the volatilities of S and G . Show that when the expected return of S increases by S λσ, the growth rate of G increases by G λσ, where λ is a constant.From It’s lemmaG S GG S Sσσ∂=∂ Also the drift of G is222212G G G S S S t S μσ∂∂∂++∂∂∂where μ is the expected return on the stock. When μ increases byS λσ, the drift of G increases byS GS Sλσ∂∂ orG G λσThe growth rate of G , therefore, increases by G λσ. Problem .Stock A and stock B both follow geometric Brownian motion. Changes in any short interval of time are uncorrelated with eachother. Does the value of a portfolio consisting of one of stock A and one of stock B follow geometric Brownian motion Explain your answer.Define A S , A μ and A σ as the stock price, expected return and volatility for stock A. Define B S , B μ and B σ as the stock price, expected return and volatility for stock B. Define A S ∆ and B S ∆ as the change in A S and B S in time t ∆. Since each of the two stocks follows geometric Brownian motion,A A A A A S S t S μσε∆=∆+B B B B B S S t S μσε∆=∆+where A ε and B ε are independent random samples from a normal distribution.()(A B A A B B A A A B B B S S S S t S S μμσεσε∆+∆=+∆++ This cannot be written as()()A B A B A B S S S S t S S μσ∆+∆=+∆++for any constants μ and σ. (Neither the drift term nor thestochastic term correspond.) Hence the value of the portfolio does not follow geometric Brownian motion. Problem .The process for the stock price in equation isS S t S μσε∆=∆+where μ and σ are constant. Explain carefully the difference between this model and each of the following:S t S S t S t S μσεμσεμσε∆=∆+∆=∆+∆=∆+Why is the model in equation a more appropriate model of stock price behaviorthan any of these three alternativesIn:S S t S μσε∆=∆+the expected increase in the stock price and the variability of the stock price are constant when both are expressed as a proportion (or as a percentage) of the stock price In:S t μ∆=∆+the expected increase in the stock price and the variability of the stock price are constant in absolute terms. For example, if theexpected growth rate is $5 per annum when the stock price is $25, it is also $5 per annum when it is $100. If the standard deviation of weekly stock price movements is $1 when the price is $25, it is also $1 when the price is $100. In:S S t μ∆=∆+the expected increase in the stock price is a constant proportion of the stock price while the variability is constant in absolute terms. In:S t S μσ∆=∆+the expected increase in the stock price is constant in absoluteterms while the variability of the proportional stock price change is constant. The model:S S t S μσ∆=∆+is the most appropriate one since it is most realistic to assume that the expected percentage return and the variability of the percentage return in a short interval are constant. Problem .It has been suggested that the short-term interest rate,r , follows the stochastic process()dr a b r dt rc dz =-+where a , b , and c are positive constants and dz is a Wiener process. Describe the nature of this process.The drift rate is ()a b r -. Thus, when the interest rate is above b the drift rate is negative and, when the interest rate is below b , the drift rate is positive. The interest rate is thereforecontinually pulled towards the level b . The rate at which it is pulled toward this level is a . A volatility equal to c is superimposed upon the “pull” or the drift.Suppose 04a =., 01b =. and 015c =. and the current interest rate is 20% per annum. The interest rate is pulled towards the level of 10% per annum. This can be regarded as a long run average. Thecurrent drift is 4-% per annum so that the expected rate at the end of one year is about 16% per annum. (In fact it is slightly greater than this, because as the interest rate decreases, the “pull” decreases.) Superimposed upon the drift is a volatility of 15% per annum.Problem .Suppose that a stock price, S , follows geometric Brownian motion with expected return μ and volatility σ:dS S dt S dz μσ=+What is the process followed by the variable n S Show that n S also follows geometric Brownian motion.If ()n G S t S ,= then 0G t ∂/∂=, 1n G S nS -∂/∂=, and 222(1)n G S n n S -∂/∂=-.

约翰.赫尔《期权、期货和其他衍生品》复习总结
定。 我国目前交易的所有期货合约均需在交易所指定仓库进行交割。
价格和头寸限制 期货报价
商品期货合约的报价一般是按照单位商品价格进行报价。 金融期货Байду номын сангаас约则是按照点数来进行报价。 涨跌幅限制 为了期货合约价格出现投机性的暴涨暴跌, 交易所一般对期货合约价格
每日最大波动幅度进行限制。 超过该涨跌幅度的报价将被视为无效，不能成交。 合约持仓限制（头寸的限额） 期货交易所一般对单个投资者在单一期货合约上的持仓（头寸）有最大
平仓：获取一个与初始交易头寸相反的头寸。 平仓是指在交割期之前，进入一个与已持有的合约有相同交割月份、相同数量、 同种商品、相反头寸的新期货合约。
期货的运作机制 期货合约条款的规定 标的资产：指期货合约双方约定在到期时买卖的商品。
对交割品的品质进行详细的规定, 从而保证交割物的价值。 对品质与标准不符的替代交割品价格升水或者贴水进行规定。 商品期货合约侧重对商品物理性质的规定。 金融期货合约侧重对交割物的期限和利率的规定。 指数类期货合约以现金进行结算, 因此不需要交割物条款。
合约规模：合约的面额指的是交割物的数量, 而不是交割物的实际价值。无论采 用实物交割还是现金交割，期货合约必须规定合约的大小，即未来交割的标的资 产的数量。高合约面额有利于节省交易成本。低合约面额则有利于吸引中小投资 者参与市场, 提高市场流动性。

当股票价格高于$120美元时，该期权买主执行该期权，我将缺失100(st-x)。
1.6你认为某种股票的价格将要上升。
现在该股票价格为$29,3个月期的执行价格为$30的看跌期权的价格为$2.90.你有$5,800资金能够投资。
现有两种策略：直截了当购买股票或投资于期权，请问各自潜在的收益或缺失为多少？答：股票价格低于$29时，购买股票和期权都将缺失，前者缺失为$5,800$29×(29-p),后者缺失为$5，800;当股票价格为〔29，30〕，购买股票收益为$5,800$29×(p-29),购买期权缺失为$5,800;当股票价格高于$30时，购买股票收益为$5,800$29×(p-29)，购买期权收益为$$5,800$29×(p-30)-5,800。
(赫尔)期货期权考试重点解读
第一章绪论1、什么是期货和期权，二者区别期货合约：两个对手之间签定的一个在确定的将来时间按确定的价格购买或出售某项资产的协议期权合约：权利义务期权合约多头一方有义务在将来某一确定时刻以确定价格买进某种商品看涨期权持有者有权利选择买进某种商品成本进入期货市场无须成本（除保证金要求）期权投资者需要支付期权费才能够得到一张期权合约2、期权交易者类型套期保值者：利用衍生产品的头寸来规避该风险投机者：持有某个头寸，承担风险以获得高收益套利者：瞬态进入两个或多个市场的交易，以锁定一个无风险的收益3、在投机时，期权与期货区别杠杆效应以较小的投入来控制较大的投机头寸。
期货：潜在损失与收益都很大期权：不管市场有多么糟糕，投机者的损失不会超过所支付的期权费用。
4、其他金融衍生产品百慕大期权：在有效期的某些特定天数之内执行回顾期权：持有者能在到期日之前选择一个最好、最有利的价格作为合同价格，如果是回顾买权，那就是基础资产出现过的最低价，如果是回顾卖权，则是出现过的最高价。
当然，这种期权的期权费往往较高平均期权(亚式期权)：平均期权中平均的，可以是将合同价格就设定为资产的平均价格。
平均期权适合于那些具有经常性的收入或费用的避险者5、组合分解6、利率上限利率远期协议利率上限：金融机构将该合约出售给公司借款者，使这些借款者在借入浮动利率的贷款时，免受由于利率上升到某一特定水平之上而产生的不利影响。
如果贷款利率的确高于上限利率，那么利率上限这一衍生产品的卖者就要替借款人补足贷款利率和上限之间的利息差额远期利率协议：俩家公司规定，6个月以后开始一年期定期存款利率为7%。
如果届时不是7%，一家公司就要将由利率变化引起的未来利息现金流的变动值贴现，付给另一家第二章期货市场与远期市场的运行机制1、期货合约期货市场卖空期货合约：在交易所内达成，受一定规则约束必须执行，规定在将来某一时间和地点交收某一特定商品的一种标准化契约。
（两个对手之间签定的一个在确定的将来时间按确定的价格购买或出售某项资产的协议）期货市场：卖空：投资者委托经纪人借来别人的股票，在公开市场上将其卖掉。

计算题
1.1一个投资者进入了一个远期合约的短头寸，在该合约中投资者能够以1.4000的汇率（美
元/英镑）卖出1000 000英镑。
当远期合约到期时的汇率为以下数值时⑴ 1.3900，⑵
1.4200，投资者的损益分别为多少？
（1.4-1.39）*1000000=1000
（1.4-1.42）*1000000=-2000
1.2 当前黄金市价为每盎司$1,000,一个一年期的远期合约的执行价格为$1,200,一个套利者
能够以每年10%的利息借入资金，套利者应该如何做才能达到套利目的？
假设黄金存储费为0，同时黄金不会带来任何利息收入
借入1000美元买入黄金，一年后以1200美元卖出
（1200-1000）- （1000*10%）= 100
2.1 一家公司进入一个合约的短头寸，在合约中公司以每莆式耳450美分卖出5000蒲式耳
小麦。
初始保证金为3000美元，维持保证金为2000美元，价格如何变化会导致保证金的催收？在什么情况下公司可以从保证金账户提取1500美元？
如果合约亏损1000美元，则会导致保证金催收，假设价格为S时收到了保证金催收，则（S1-4.5）*5000=1000 S1=470美分，即如果未来价格高于470美分会收到保证呢过金催收通知
假设价格为S2时可以从保证金账户提取1500美金，则（4.5-S2）*5000=1500 S2=420美分即价格跌至420美分时，可以从保证金账户中提取1500美元
3.1 假定今天是7月16日，一家公司持有价值1亿美元的股票组合，此股票组合的beta系
数是1.2，这家公司希望采用CME在12月份到期SP500股指期货在7月16日至11月16日之间将beta系数由1.2变为0.5，SP500股指当前价值为1000，而每一份期货合约面值为250美元与股指的乘积。
1）公司应做什么样的交易2）Beta由1.2变为1.5，公司应该持有什么样的头寸
1)该公司需要空头（1.2-0.5）*100000000/1000*250=280份合约
2)该公司需要多头（1.5-1.2）*100000000/1000*250=120份合约
