...CHAPTER 1: I 1. (The Role of Derivative Markets) The existence of derivative markets in the United States economy and indeed throughout most modern countries of the world undoubtedly leads to a much higher degree of market efficiency. Derivatives facilitate the activities of individual arbitrageurs so that unequal prices of identical goods are arbitraged until they are equal. Because of the large number of arbitrageurs, this is a quick and efficient process. Arbitrage on this large a scale makes markets less capable of being manipulated, less costly to trade in, and therefore more attractive to investors. (The opportunity to hedge also makes the markets more attractive to investors in managing risk.) This is not to say that an economy without derivative markets would be inefficient, but it would not have the advantage of this arbitrage on a large scale. It is important to note that the derivative markets do not necessarily make the U.S. or world economy any larger or wealthier. The basic wealth, expected returns, and risks of the economy would be about the same without these markets. Derivatives simply create lower cost opportunities for investors to align their risks at more satisfactory levels. This may not necessarily make them wealthier, but to the extent that it makes them more satisfied with their positions, it serves a valuable purpose. 2. (Return and Risk) Return is the numerical measure of investment performance. There are two main measures of return, dollar return and...

...notes embedded with Asian options in Denmark ---- Using a Monte Carlo Method with stochastic volatility (the Heston Model) Aarhus School of Business and Social Science 2011 2 Acknowledgements My gratitude and appreciation goes to my supervisor Peter Lø chte Jø rgensen, for his kind and insightful discussion and guide through my process of writing. I was always impressed by his wisdom, openness and patience whenever I wrote an email or came by to his office with some confusion and difficulty. Especially on access to the information on certain Danish structured products, I have gained great help and support from him. 3 Abstract My interest came after the reading of the thesis proposal on strucured products written by Henrik, as is pointed out and suggested at the last part of this proposal, one of the main limitations of this thesis may be the choice of model. This intrigues my curiosity on pricing Asian options under assumption of stochstic volatility. At first, after the general introduction of strucutred products, the Black Scholes Model and risk neutral pricing has been explained. The following comes the disadvanges of BS model and then moves to the stochastic volatility model, among which the Heston model is highlighted and elaborated. The next part of this thesis is an emricical studying of two structured products embbeded with Asian options in Danish market and follows with a conclusion. Key words: structured products, Asian options, Black-Scholes model...

...Chapter 12 Derivatives and Foreign Currency: Concepts and Common Transactions Answers to Questions 1 Derivative is the name given to a broad range of financial securities. Their common characteristic is that the derivative contract’s value to the investor is directly related to fluctuations in price, rate, or some other variable that underlies it. Interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity prices and stock prices are common types of prices and rate risks that companies hedge. 2 A Forward is negotiated directly with a counterparty, while a future is a standard contract traded on an exchange. The exchange traded instrument has less risk of non-performance, and is commonly cheaper to transact. But standard contracts might not fit all companies’ needs. The forward carries the risk of counterparty default, but each contract can be tailored to exact needs. 3 An option gives the holder the right to buy or sell the underlying at a set price. The writer of an option has the obligation to either buy or sell. Options are often traded on exchanges and have low transaction costs. Because an option is an agreement on a single transaction, they are not helpful in managing the risk of a stream of future transactions. A swap is an agreement to exchange a series of future cash flows. These are often negotiated, but there are some standardized exchange-traded swaps. 4 Net settlement means the instrument can be settled in cash for the net value. The...

...CHAPTER 7 FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE SUGGESTED ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS TO END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS QUESTIONS 1. Explain the basic differences between the operation of a currency forward market and a futures market. Answer: The forward market is an OTC market where the forward contract for purchase or sale of foreign currency is tailor-made between the client and its international bank. No money changes hands until the maturity date of the contract when delivery and receipt are typically made. A futures contract is an exchange-traded instrument with standardized features specifying contract size and delivery date. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily to reflect changes in the settlement price. Delivery is seldom made in a futures market. Rather a reversing trade is made to close out a long or short position. 2. In order for a derivatives market to function most efficiently, two types of economic agents are needed: hedgers and speculators. Explain. Answer: Two types of market participants are necessary for the efficient operation of a derivatives market: speculators and hedgers. A speculator attempts to profit from a change in the futures price. To do this, the speculator will take a long or short position in a futures contract depending upon his expectations of future price movement. A hedger, on-the-other-hand, desires to avoid price variation by locking in a purchase price of the underlying asset through a long position...
