Option Strategies

Trading Strategies

Options can be combined in various ways to create an


unlimited number of payoff profiles.

Examples

Buy a stock and a put

Buy a call with one strike price and sell a call with another

Buy a call and a put with the same strike price

Other Option-Like Securities


Corporate Liabilities:
V =Value of the company’s assets
B = Face value of corporate bonds

Equity ≡ max[0, V − B] ≡ E
| {z }
Call with strike B
= V − B + max[0, B − V ]
| {z }
Put with strike B
Debt ≡ min[V, B] ≡ D
= B − max[0, B − V ]
| {z }
Short Put with strike B
V = Debt + Equity
Equity: hold call or protected levered put
Debt: issue put and (riskless) lending

Put-Call Parity

S0 + p = Ke−rT + c

Conditions:

European

Same underlying asset

Same strike price K

Same maturity date T


Options (Ch. 9, Sec. 9.1 to 9.5) Put-Call Parity (Ch. 10, Sec. 10.4 and 10.7)

Put-Call Parity (European Options, no dividends)


Protective Put Fiduciary Call
Time (Stock + Put) (Bond + Call)
0 - Pay S0 for stock X -Invest Ke−rT for T periods in a zero-coupon bond
- Pay p for put option on stock X -Pay c for call option on stock X
with strike price K and maturity T with strike price K and maturity T
Cost: S0 + p Cost: Ke−rT + c
If ST > K
-Sell stock for ST - Collect K
- Payoff of put is 0 - Payoff of call is ST − K
Cash Inflow: ST + 0 = ST Cash Inflow: K + (ST − K) = ST
T If ST < K
-Sell stock for ST - Collect K
- Payoff of put is K − ST - Payoff of call is 0
Cash Inflow: ST + (K − ST ) = K Cash Inflow: K + 0 = K
If ST = K
-Sell stock for ST - Collect K
- Payoff of put is 0 - Payoff of call is 0
Cash Inflow: ST = K Cash Inflow: K = ST

Therefore, S0 + p = Ke−rT + c

Arbitrage Opportunities if Put-Call Parity Does Not Hold


Example. S0 =£31, r =0.10, call price= £3. Both put and call have strike
price of £30 and three months to maturity. A three-month put price should cost

p = 30e−0.1×3/12 + 3 − 31 = 1.26

Time Three-month put price = £2.25 Three-month put price = £1


t - Buy call for £3 -Short call to realize £3

- Short put to realize £2.25 -Buy put for £1

- Short the stock to realize £31 - Buy the stock for £31

- Invest 31 + 2.25 - 3 = £30.25 for 3 months -Borrow 3 - 1 - 31 = £29 for 3 months


If ST > 30
-Receive 30.25e0.1×3/12 = £31.02 from investment - Call exercised: sell stock for £30

- Exercise call to buy stock for £30 - Use 29e0.1×3/12 = £29.73 to repay loan
Profit: £31.02 - £30 = £1.02 Profit:£30 - £29.73 = £0.27
T = 3 months If ST < 30
-Receive 30.25e0.1×3/12 = £31.02 from investment - Exercise put to sell stock for £30

- Put exercised: buy stock for £30 - Use 29e0.1×3/12 = £29.73 to repay loan
Profit: £31.02 - £30 = £1.02 Profit: £30 - £29.73 = £0.27
Options (Ch. 9, Sec. 9.1 to 9.5) Put-Call Parity (Ch. 10, Sec. 10.4 and 10.7)

Put-Call Parity (European Options, with dividends)


Protective Put Fiduciary Call
Time (Stock + Put) (Bond + Call)
0 - Pay S0 for stock X -Invest Ke−rT + D for T periods
in a zero-coupon bond
- Pay p for put option on stock X -Pay c for call option on stock X
with strike price K and maturity T with strike price K and maturity T
Cost: S0 + p Cost: Ke−rT + D + c
If ST > K
-Sell stock for ST - Collect K + DerT
- Receive DerT - Payoff of call is ST − K
- Payoff of put is 0
Cash Inflow: ST + DerT Cash Inflow: ST + DerT
T If ST < K
-Sell stock for ST - Collect K + DerT
- Receive DerT - Payoff of call is 0
- Payoff of put is K − ST
Cash Inflow: K + DerT Cash Inflow: K + DerT
If ST = K
-Sell stock for ST - Collect K + DerT
- Receive DerT - Payoff of call is 0
- Payoff of put is 0
Cash Inflow: ST + DerT = K + DerT Cash Inflow: K + DerT = ST + DerT

Therefore, S0 + p = Ke−rT +D+c


Options (Ch. 9, Sec. 9.1 to 9.5) Put-Call Parity (Ch. 10, Sec. 10.4 and 10.7)

Put-Call Parity and Capital Structure Arbitrage

Recall:

Equity ≡ max[0, V − P V (B)] ≡ c

Debt ≡ min[V, P V (B)]


= P V (B) − max[0, P V (B) − V ] ≡ P V (B) − p

V = Debt + Equity = c + (P V (B) − p)

Rearranging this equation,


V + p = P V (B) + c

We recover the put-call parity equation


c is and p are options with strike price B
