P. Carr and L. Wu: Static Hedging of Standard Options

May 21, 2004

We consider the hedging of options when the underlying asset price is exposed to the possibility of jumps of random size. Working in a single factor Markovian setting, we derive a new, static spanning relation between a given option and a continuum of shorter-term options written on the same asset. We implement this static relation using a finite set of shorter-term options and use Monte Carlo simulation to determine the hedging error. We compare this hedging error to that of a delta hedging strategy based on daily rebalancing in the underlying futures.
