2018-11-05 23:08An investor is long a long-term ATM put option on an underlying portfolio of equities with a notional value of USD 100,000. If the 95% VaR of the underlying portfolio is 10.4%, which of the following statements about the VaR of the option position is correct when secord-order terms are considered? C. The VaR of the option position is slightly less than USD 5,200. First-order term=5200可以計(jì)算得出,但是這里是long put,為什么后面的secord-order term是負(fù)的呢?如果這題改成short put, Gamma是負(fù)的,是不是就會(huì)slightly more than 5200?

同學(xué)你好,delta-gamma中計(jì)算VaR值,后面一項(xiàng)是減去1/2*gamma*VaR(ds),而這里是long 一個(gè)put,它的gamma是大于零的,。所以綜合來看是減去
如果這個(gè)題目改成short一個(gè)option的話,后面這一項(xiàng)就變成了正的,因?yàn)閟hort option的gamma是負(fù)的。
