Bond Options

Suggested textbook readings: pp. 95-98, 174-177, 397-

Highlights

  • (^) Options basics
  • (^) How to replicate the payoffs and price a European bond option
  • (^) Pricing American options
  • (^) Hedging with options

Options basics

  • (^) European vs. American (exercise any time before expiration)
  • (^) Bermudan options: exercise possible on some fixed set of dates (e.g. coupon payment dates)
  • (^) Put-call parity: for European options, provided there is no coupon before T: Ct = Pt + Bt – (^) tdT X

Options basics

  • (^) Options can be combined to create different payoffs, e.g., 1 call + 1 put = straddle (bet on volatility) X BT

Pricing European options

  • (^) Work backwards:
    • (^) Figure value at expiration
    • (^) Prior to expiration, option value = value of replicating portfolio (using two different bonds)
    • (^) Replicating portfolio changes at every node: replicating strategy is dynamic
  • (^) Note that option value doesn’t depend on probabilities!

Pricing American options

  • (^) Similar to European options: also work backwards, but at each node, need to compare: - (^) (1) value of keeping option alive = value of replicating portfolio (based on next period’s payoffs) - (^) (2) payoff if exercised immediately - (^) If (2) is higher, exercise!
