Abstract
Jet fuel prices are highly volatile and outside airlines’ control, incentivizing them to reduce earnings volatility through financial hedging. Due to limited direct hedging options, airlines often resort to cross-hedging of jet fuel requirements. In this paper, we propose a composite jet fuel cross-hedging approach, shown to provide substantial performance benefits relative to a traditional single instrument strategy. A mimicking portfolio approach, incorporating multiple hedging instruments, is found to provide additional hedging gains. Finally, we demonstrate that further hedging effectiveness is achieved by adding recently introduced jet fuel swap contracts to a hedge portfolio.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the journal is also to stimulate international dialog among academics, industry participants, traders, investors, and policymakers with mutual interests in commodity markets. The mandate for the journal is to present ongoing work within commodity economics and finance. Topics can be related to financialization of commodity markets; pricing, hedging, and risk analysis of commodity derivatives; risk premia in commodity markets; real option analysis for commodity project investment and production; portfolio allocation including commodities; forecasting in commodity markets; corporate finance for commodity-exposed corporations; econometric/statistical analysis of commodity markets; organization of commodity markets; regulation of commodity markets; local and global commodity trading; and commodity supply chains. Commodity markets in this context are energy markets (including renewables), metal markets, mineral markets, agricultural markets, livestock and fish markets, markets for weather derivatives, emission markets, shipping markets, water, and related markets. This interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary journal will cover all commodity markets and is thus relevant for a broad audience. Commodity markets are not only of academic interest but also highly relevant for many practitioners, including asset managers, industrial managers, investment bankers, risk managers, and also policymakers in governments, central banks, and supranational institutions.
