This paper considers the mean variance portfolio management problem. We examine portfolios which contain both primary and derivative securities. The challenge in this context is due to portfolio's nonlinearities. The delta-gamma approximation is employed to overcome it. Thus, the optimization problem is reduced to a we…

Study the hedging of cryptocurrency options in a volatile market.

problem Hedging options in a volatile, non-stationary cryptocurrency market.
method Calibrated to SVI-implied volatility surfaces, Monte Carlo price paths generated using SVCJ, GARCH, and historical data. Delta, Delta-Gamma, Delta-Vega, and Minimum Variance strategies applied. Wide range of market models tested.
result Calibration results indicate stochastic volatility, low jump frequency, and infinite activity. Short-dated options less sensitive to volatility or Gamma hedges; longer-dated options benefit from multiple-instrument hedges.

result Consistently outperforms traditional hedging strategies across various market conditions.

A Delta-groupoid is an algebraic structure which axiomitizes the combinatorics of a truncated tetrahedron. It is shown that there are relations of Delta-groupoids to rings, group pairs, and (ideal) triangulations of three-manifolds. In particular, one can associate a Delta-groupoid to ideal triangulations of knot compl…

We refine the analysis of hedging strategies for options under the SABR model carried out in [2]. In particular, we provide a theoretical justification of the empirical observation made in [2] that the modified delta ("Bartlett's delta") introduced there provides a more accurate and robust hedging strategy than the con…

A Delta-groupoid is an algebraic structure which axiomatizes the combinatorics of a truncated tetrahedron. By considering two simplest examples coming from knot theory, we illustrate how can one associate a Delta-groupoid to an ideal triangulation of a three-manifold. We also describe in detail the rings associated wit…

We call a Delta Diagram any diagram of a knot or link whose regions (including the unbounded one) have 3, 4, or 5 sides. We prove that any knot or link admits a delta diagram. We define and estimate combinatorial link invariants stemming from this definition.

Modelling stock prices via jump processes is common in financial markets. In practice, to hedge a contingent claim one typically uses the so-called delta-hedging strategy. This strategy stems from the Black--Merton--Scholes model where it perfectly replicates contingent claims. From the theoretical viewpoint, there is …
