After demonstrating how these concepts are pertinent to…[Read more]

A variance/volatility swap is an instrument that allows explicit exposure to the realized variance/volatility of an index, stock, etc., without exposure to other risks commonly encountered with derivatives: delta, gamma, etc.

We review the equity forward and futures pricing models. Consider an index level, I, at a future time, T. With respect to I, we calculate 1) the forward price, 2) the futures price, and 3) delta.

A valuation model is presented to calculate price, hedge ratio, and implied volatility for forward starting European calls and puts. The model focuses on the numerical accuracy of the implementation.

The model calculates numbers that characterize the effect of adding an extra instrument to a portfolio of loan commitments. To be useful, these numbers should be additive with respect to the facilities making up the portfolio, so that their total would have the same meaning for the portfolio as each individual number has for the respective…[Read more]
