Derivative security
A derivative transaction involves no actual transfer of
ownership of the underlying assets at the time the
contract is initiated. A derivative represents an
agreement to transfer ownership of underlying assets at
a specific place, price, and time specified in the contract.
Its value (or price) depends on the value of the
underlying assets.
The underlying assets: stocks, bonds, interest rates,
foreign
exchanges,
index,
commodities,
some
derivatives, etc.
4
What is an option?
A derivative security that gives the
holder the right to buy / sell
an asset (the “underlying”)
at a specified price (“exercise price”)
on or before the option expiration date.
5
Two types of options:
Call vs. Put options
 Call
option
 Gives holder the right to buy an asset at
a specified exercise price on or before a
specified expiration date.
 Put
option
 Gives holder the right to sell an asset at a
specified exercise price on or before a
specified expiration date.
6
Exercise price
 Exercise
price
For a call option, it is the price set for buying
the underlying asset.
 For a put option it is the price set for selling
the underlying asset.

 Exercise
price is also called the strike
price.

Option premium





Options are financial assets. If you want an option, you
have to buy it from an option seller (counterparty).
The purchase price or cost of an option is the option
premium.
The option seller earns the option premium.
The option premium is an immediate expense for the
buyer and an immediate return for the seller, whether or
not the owner (buyer) ever exercises the option.
In option markets, to sell an option is to “write” an option.
An option seller is also called an “option writer”.
8
Examples

At March 1, XYZ stock’s spot price = $110. A
trader buys a call option on XYZ at strike
(exercise) price = $100/share. The right lasts
until August 15, and the price (option premium)
of this call option is $15/share.

At March 1, ABC stock’s spot price = $100. A
trader buys a put option to on ABC at strike
(exercise) price = $120/share. The right lasts
until August 15, and the price (option premium)
of this put option is $22/share.
9
The long and short of it…
 If

you buy an option, then you are
“long the option” or “long option” or you have a
“long position”.
 If

you sell an option, then you are
“short the option” or “short option” or you have
a “short position”.
Example: if you buy a call option, you are “long call”.
10
Buyer (Long)
Seller (Short)
Call
- Right to buy the underlying
(i.e. to exercise the option)
- Pays the premium
- Obligation to sell the underlying,
if buyer exercises the option
- Receives the premium
Put
- Right to sell the underlying
(i.e. to exercise the option)
- Pays the premium
- Obligation to buy the underlying,
if buyer exercises the option
- Receives the premium

Option exercise (1)
To “exercise a call option” means to use the
option to buy the underlying asset at the
exercise price.
To “exercise a put option” means to use the
option to sell the underlying asset at the
exercise price.
16
Option exercise (2)
Question: When do you exercise an option?
Answer: Simple. Only when it’s optimal to do so.
That is, when you are better off exercising the
option.
“Buy low, sell high”
Question: What if exercising the option does not
make me better off?
Answer: Simple. Don’t exercise. After all, it’s just an
option.
17
American vs. European options

American option: Holder has the right to exercise
the option on or before the expiration date.

European option: Holder has the right to
exercise the option only on the expiration date.

Most traded options in the US are Americanstyle. Exceptions: foreign currency options,
some stock index options.

one year has an exercise price, X, of $100 and is selling
at a price, C, of $10. With $10,000 to invest, you are
considering three alternatives:
a) Invest all $10,000 in the stock, buying 100 shares.
b) Invest all $10,000 in 1,000 options (10 contracts)
c) Buy 100 options (one contract) for $1,000 and invest the

Single-Period Binomial Model (2)
Try to find a synthetic portfolio including
stocks and bonds, which will replicate the
payoff of a Call option.

Since the payoff (value) for the synthetic
portfolio is exactly the same as that for the
Call option in all circumstances, the price
(initial value) of the portfolio must be the
same as that of the Call.

Compute the price of a call option written on the
stock of ABC Inc. The stock is currently selling
for S0 = $100. The stock price will either
increase by a factor of u = 2 to $200 or fall by a
factor of d = 0.5 to $50 by year end. The call
option has a strike price of $125 and a time to
expiration of one year. The risk-free interest rate
is 8% p.a.
78
Another way to Price a call option (2)
Terms:
Su = u x S0 = year end stock price if price rises to $200
Sd = d x S0 = year end stock price if price falls to $50
C0 = call option price
Cu = call option payoff if stock price is Su
Cd = call option payoff if stock price is Sd
1. Call option payoffs
Cu = 200 – 125 = 75
Cd = 0 (not optimal to exercise)
79
Another way to Price a call option (3)
2) Hedge ratio, H
Cu - Cd
H =
uS 0 - dS 0
H = (75 – 0)/(200 – 50) = 75 /150 = 0.5/1
3) Form a portfolio that is short 1 call and long 0.5 shares
of ABC stock.

4) Compute the end-of-period payoff.
Payoff in 1 year for each possible
stock price
Write 1 call
Buy 0.5 shares

Sd = $50
Su = $200

0.5 x 50 = 25

-(200 – 125) = -75
0.5 x 200 = 100

Year end payoff is certain!
81
Another way to Price a call option (5)
5) Compute present value of $25 with a one-year risk-free
interest rate of 8%.
PV = 25/1.08 = $23.1481
6) Set value of hedged position equal to present value of
the certain payoff and solve for call option’s value.
0.5S0 – C0 = 23.1481
50 – C0
= 23.1481
C0
= 26.8519
= 26.85

Binomial option pricing model
 Basic

idea:
You can form a portfolio consisting of stock
and call options that produces a certain (norisk) payoff in the future.
 This
is also called the hedged position.
Discounting this payoff at the risk-free rate
gives the portfolio value today.
 Using this present value and the current stock
price, you solve for the call option price.

Another pricing problem

2.
You are attempting to value a call option with
an exercise price of $100 and one year to
expiration. The underlying stock pays no
dividends, its current price is $100, and you
believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to
$120 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $80.
The riskfree interest rate is 10% p.a.
What is the hedge ratio?
Calculate the call option’s value using the
Binomial pricing model. Verify that the call
option price is $13.64.

Assumptions:
1.
Options are European options.
2.
Both call and put options are written on the
same underlying asset.
3.
Underlying asset does not pay any cash flow
(e.g., dividends) before option expiration.
4.
Continuous compounding.

Put-Call Parity Relationship (3)
 The
relationship says that:

A portfolio that is long 1 call and short 1 put
has the same payoffs at expiration as…

A portfolio made up of the underlying asset
plus a borrowing position. The riskfree interest
rate is r.
