동적 델타 헤징(Dynamic Delta Hedging)이란 옵션 발행자가 옵션의 만기정산금액(payoff)을 지급하기 위해 주기적으로 델타에 근거한 헤지 포지션을 조절함으로써 옵션의 payoff를 복제하고 옵션 가치변화에 따른 위험을 회피하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 헤지에 있어서 주요 변수인 블랙-숄즈의 모형에 의해 산출된 델타의 대체 값을 찾기 위해 기계학습의 일종인 인공신경망 학습을 적용하여 옵션의 만기 시 헤지 비용의 최소화 및 차익 실현을 위한 방법론을 제시하고자 한다. 기초자산의 현재가격, 변동성, 무위험이자율, 만기 등의 시장 상황 변화에 따른 다양한 시나리오에 대한 실험을 통해 본 연구에서 제시하는 방법론의 성능을 분석하고 그 우수성을 보인다.

최근 주식 워런트 증권(ELW)의 시장 규모가 급격하게 증가하면서 ELW를 발행한 금융기관들에는 리스크 관리 측면에서 효율적인 헤징 방안에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 인공신경망 학습 기법을 이용하여 ELW를 헤징하는 데 소요되는 비용을 최소화하는 방안을 제시하고자 하며, 기초자산의 현재가격, 변동성, 무위험이자율, 만기 등의 시장 상황 변화에 따른 다양한 시나리오에 대한 실험을 통해 본 연구에서 제시하는 방법론의 성능을 기존의 동적 델타 헤징 방법론과 비교 실험하였다. 그 결과 만기 행사가 안 된 상품의 경우 본 연구에서 제시하는 헤징 방법론이 동적 델타 헤징에 비해 최종 비용이 약 250% 이상 개선되었으며, 행사한 상품은 최종 비용에 있어서 약 25%의 개선 율을 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper studies the possibility of options as an instrument for central bank to intervene foreign exchange market. As opposed to spot transaction or forward transaction, which impacts spot exchange rate only once, currency options can continuously resist a directional speculative pressure on spot market due to the dynamic delta hedging of OTC currency options market maker. This research also analyzes whether and how central banks can use currency options to lower exchange rate volatility and maintain (implicit) target zones in foreign exchange markets. It argues that short position rather than long position in options will result in market makers dynamically hedging their long option exposure in a stabilizing manner, consistent with the first objective. Selling a "Strangle" allows a central bank to increase the credibility of its commitment to a target zone, and could have a lower expected cost than spot market interventions. However, this strategy also exposes the central bank to an unlimited loss potential. Therefore these kinds of intervention strategies must be used in the short run and temporarily.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the importance of the slope and curvature of the volatility curve implied in option prices in the KOSPI 200 options index. A number of studies examine the implied volatility curve, however, these usually focus on cross-sectional characteristics such as the volatility smile. Contrary to previous studies, we focus on time-series characteristics; we investigate correlation dynamics among slope, curvature, and level of the implied volatility curve to capture market information embodied therein. Our study may provide useful implications for investors to utilize current market expectations in managing portfolios dynamically and efficiently. Research design, data, and methodology - For our empirical purpose, we gathered daily KOSPI200 index option prices executed at 2:50 pm in the Korean Exchange distribution market during the period of January 2, 2004 and January 31, 2012. In order to measure slope and curvature of the volatility curve, we use approximated delta distance; the slope is defined as the difference of implied volatilities between 15 delta call options and 15 delta put options; the curvature is defined as the difference between out-of-the-money (OTM) options and at-the-money (ATM) options. We use generalized method of moments (GMM) and the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) method to verify correlations among level, slope, and curvature of the implied volatility curve with statistical support. Results - We find that slope as well as curvature is positively correlated with volatility level, implying that put option prices increase in a downward market. Further, we find that curvature and slope are positively correlated; however, the relation is weakened at deep moneyness. The results lead us to examine whether slope decreases monotonically as the delta increases, and it is verified with statistical significance that the deeper the moneyness, the lower the slope. It enables us to infer that when volatility surges above a certain level due to any tail risk, investors would rather take long positions in OTM call options, expecting market recovery in the near future. Conclusions - Our results are the evidence of the investor's increasing hedging demand for put options when downside market risks are expected. Adding to this, the slope and curvature of the volatility curve may provide important information regarding the timing of market recovery from a nosedive. For financial product distributors, using the dynamic relation among the three key indicators of the implied volatility curve might be helpful in enhancing profit and gaining trust and loyalty. However, it should be noted that our implications are limited since we do not provide rigorous evidence for the predictability power of volatility curves. Meaning, we need to verify whether the slope and curvature of the volatility curve have statistical significance in predicting the market trough. As one of the verifications, for instance, the performance of trading strategy based on information of slope and curvature could be tested. We reserve this for the future research.
