Buy Bond (+B) and Buy Call (+C) * If you buy a zero-coupon, deep discount bond, the initial outlay (B) is small (esp. if r is high); If volatility of S is low, call (C) is cheap; Then the initial cost (B+C) may be set ≈ K (PPN). Then your principal is protected (worst outcome; S low, call OTM, get to keep Bond payoff (K). Value S +B +C B+C

© Paul Koch 1-9 II. How to Plot Payoff Pattern for Any Combination Problem: Given any Combination of shares, bonds, & options, graph the Payoff Pattern for the Intrinsic Value; show slopes of line segments; & show break-even points. Three Steps: 1. Compute the initial cost / revenue of the Combination, and get values of S where all options are worth zero (ATM or OTM). For these values of S, Combination is worth the initial cost / revenue. 2. Get values of S where one option is ITM. For these values of S, Combination Value = initial cost / revenue + intrinsic value of this option. 3. Get values of S where next option is ITM. For these values of S, Combination Value = old value + intrinsic value of this option. Continue until you examine all values of S, for all options in combination.

At S = K = $50, both options ATM, Combination Value = -$ If S > $50, Call ITM, Combination Value = -$17 + 1(S - K). (coeff. of S = +1) 3. If S < $50, Puts ITM, Combination Value = -$17 + 2(K - S).

Underlying Asset - ED deposit with 3-month maturity. b. ED rates are quoted on an interest-bearing basis, assuming a 360-day year. c. Each ED futures contract represents $1MM of face value ED deposits maturing 3 months after contract expiration. d. 40 different contracts trade at any point in time; contracts mature in Mar, Je, Sept, and Dec, 10 years out. e. Settlement is in cash; price is established by a survey of current ED rates. f. ED futures trade according to an index; Q = R = (futures rate); e.g., If futures rate = 8.50%, Q = 91.50, and interest outlay promised would be (.0850) x ($1,000,000) x (90 / 360) = $21,250. g. Each basis point in the futures rate means a $25 change in value of contract: [ (.0001) x ($1,000,000) x (90 / 360) ] = $25 ] h. The ED futures is truly a futures on an interest rate. (The T.Bill futures is a futures on a 90-day T.Bill.)

© Paul Koch 1-22 IV.A. Using Options on ED Futures 2. Example: Long Hedge with ED futures for a Bank. (more Review) Jan. 6: Bank expects $1 MM payment on May 11 (4 months). Anticipates investing funds in 3-month ED deposits. Cash Market risk exposure: Bank would like to today’s ED rate, but won’t have funds for 4 mo. If ED rate , bank will realize opportunity loss (will have to invest the $1 MM at lower ED rates). Long Hedge: Buy ED futures today (promise to deposit R). Then if cash rates , futures rates (R) will  & futures prices (Q) will . so long futures position will  to offset opportunity losses in cash mkt. The best ED futures to buy is June contract; expires soonest after May 11. Jan. 6 May 11 June 14 |__________________________________________|_____________| $1 MM receivable due May 11. Cash: Plan to invest $1MM on May 11Invest the $1 MM in ED deposits. Futures: Buy 1 ED futures. Sell futures contract.

This is basis risk.

Put option on ED futures: Right to sell ED futures fwd ED rate). d. Lender? Want to buy ED in future. To hedge risk of loss with falling rates: i. Buy ED futures. If rates , lock in (min.) lending rate. But if rates , opportunity loss (could have loaned at higher rates). ii. Buy Call option on ED futures. If rates , lock in min. lending rate. NOW if rates , lend at higher rates! Call is OTM - interest rate Floor. e. Borrower? Want to sell ED in future. To hedge risk of loss with rising rates: i. Sell ED futures. If rates , lock in (max.) borrowing rate. But if rates , opportunity loss (could have borrowed at lower rates). ii. Buy Put option on ED futures. If rates , lock in max. borrowing rate. NOW if rates , borrow at lower rates! Put is OTM - interest rate Cap. f. Combining Call & Put on ED futures gives Collar.
