Abstract
This paper considers loans containing implicit options according to §489 of the German civil code. Assuming a risk neutral framework a generalisation of the simple case of a 1:1 micro-hedge to the more advanced case of a macro-hedge will be presented. For this purpose, the proposed hedging strategy will be described and examined. The question which of the several components of a macro hedge should be finally taken into account is answered in a step by step approach. Firstly, by means of a methodological discussion and secondly, by means of a cost/benefit analysis. A useful by-product of the analysis conducted here is a generic method for quantifying the materiality of risks of §489 options.
