Abstract
In this paper, we propose a delta-hedging strategy for a long memory stochastic volatility model (LMSV). This is a model in which the volatility is driven by a fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process with long-memory parameter H. We compute the so-called hedging bias, i.e. the difference between the Black–Scholes Delta and the LMSV Delta as a function of H, and we determine when a European-type option is over-hedged or under-hedged.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Finance provides an outlet for original research in all areas of finance and its applications to other disciplines having a clear and substantive link to the general theme of finance. In particular, innovative research papers of moderate length of the highest quality in all scientific areas that are motivated by the analysis of financial problems will be considered. Annals of Finance''s scope encompasses - but is not limited to - the following areas: accounting and finance, asset pricing, banking and finance, capital markets and finance, computational finance, corporate finance, derivatives, dynamical and chaotic systems in finance, economics and finance, empirical finance, experimental finance, finance and the theory of the firm, financial econometrics, financial institutions, mathematical finance, money and finance, portfolio analysis, regulation, stochastic analysis and finance, stock market analysis, systemic risk and financial stability. Annals of Finance also publishes special issues on any topic in finance and its applications of current interest. A small section, entitled finance notes, will be devoted solely to publishing short articles – up to ten pages in length, of substantial interest in finance. Officially cited as: Ann Finance
