s Hedge: 是指保值者持有期貨合約的頭寸規(guī)模與需要保值的基礎(chǔ)資產(chǎn)之間的比率。) Maturity mismatches and Delta hedges ? Futures hedge is called a delta hedge when there is a mismatch between the maturity (but not the currency) of a futures contract and the underlying exposure. ? When there is a maturity mismatch, a futures hedge cannot provide a perfect hedge against currency risk. Dec 16 Oct 26 Mar 13 S$10million underlying obligation Futures expiration date following the cash flow An example of a delta hedge time 0 time t=227/365 Sept 11 Futures expiration date following the cash flow time T=278/365 An example of a delta hedge ? There are 227days between March 13 and October 26. ? A hedge with the futures contract expires on September 11 only hedges against currency risk through that date. It remains exposed to changes in currency values from the end of the contract through October 26. ? The December futures contract is a better choice because it can hedge currency risk through October 26 and then be sold. ? Suppose the spot rate is S0$/s$= $$ on March 13, Annual interest rate in the United States and Singapore are i$= % and is$= % ? According to IRP, the forward price for exchange on October 26 is F0,t$/s$ = S0$/s$ [(1+i$)/(1+is$)]t= ()[(1+%)/(1+%)][227/365]=$$ ? It can form a perfect hedge with a long forward contract for delivery of S$10 million on October 26 in exchange for ( $$)(S$10,000,000)=$6,089,000. As we shall see, the futures hedge using the December 16 futures contract is not quite as precise.
