  2. Derivatives • Forwards • fix the price or rate of an underlying asset • Options • allow holders to decide at a later date whether such fixing is in their best interest

  3. Option Market Conventions • Option contracts have been traded for centuries • Customized options traded on OTC market • In April 1973, standardized options began trading on the Chicago Board Option Exchange • Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) acts as guarantor of each CBOE -traded options

  4. Price Quotations for Exchange-Traded Options • Equity options • CBOE, AMEX, PHLX, PSE • typical contract for 100 shares • require secondary transaction if exercised • time premium affects pricing

  5. Price Quotations for Exchange-Traded Options • Stock index options • only settle in cash • Foreign currency options • allow sale or purchase of a set amount of non-USD currency at a fixed exchange rate • quotes in USD • Options on futures contracts (futures options) • Give the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a futures contract at a later date at a predetermined price

  6. The Fundamentals of Option Valuation • Risk reduction tools when used as a hedge • Forecasting the volatility of future asset prices • direction and magnitude • hedge ratio is based on the range of possible option outcomes related to the range of possible stock outcomes • risk-free hedge buys one share of stock and sells call options to neutralize risk • hedge portfolio should grow at the risk-free rate

  7. The Binomial Option Pricing Model • Two-state option pricing model • up movement or down movement • forecast stock price changes from one subperiod to the next • up change • down change • number of subperiods

  8. The Binomial Option Pricing Model

  9. The Black-Scholes Valuation Model • continuous changes rather than discrete • geometric Brownian motion • volatility factor, s

  10. The Black-Scholes Valuation Model Value is a function of five variables: 1. Current security price 2. Exercise price 3. Time to expiration 4. Risk-free rate 5. Security price volatility C = f(S, X, T, RFR, s)

  11. Estimating Volatility • Mean and standard deviation of a series of price relatives

  12. Problems With Black-Scholes Valuation • Stock prices do not change continuously • Arbitrageable differences between option values and prices (due to brokerage fees, bid-ask spreads, and inflexible position sizes) • Risk-free rate and volatility levels do not remain constant until the expiration date

  13. Empirical studies showed that the Black-Scholes model overvalued out-of-the-money call options and undervalued in-the-money contracts Any violation of the assumptions upon which the Black-Scholes model is based could lead to a misevaluation of the option contract Problems With Black-Scholes Valuation

  14. Option Valuation: Extensions and Advanced Topics • Valuing European-style put options • Valuing options on dividend bearing securities • Valuing American-style options • Stock index options • Foreign currency options • Futures options

  15. Exotic Options • Asian options • terminal payoff determined by the average price of the underlying security during the life of the contract • path dependent payoff • Lookback options • distribution based on the maximum price the underlying security achieves during the life of the contract • preserves volatility • always European-style • Digital options - fixed payoff amount regardless of how deep in the money the contract is at expiration

  16. Options are a leveraged alternative to making a direct investment in the asset on which the contract is based Put options could be used in conjunction with an existing portfolio to limit the portfolio’s loss potential Option Trading Strategies

  17. Option Trading Strategies • Protective put options • Covered call options • Straddles, strips, and straps • Strangle • Chooser options • Spreads • Range forwards
