Joe Finance has just purchased a stock-index fund, currently selling at $1,200 per share. To protect against losses, Joe plans to purchase an at-the-money European put option on the fund for $60, with exercise price $1,200, and three-month time to expiration. Sally Calm, Joe’s financial adviser, points out that Joe is spending a lot of money on the put. She notes that three-month puts with strike prices of $1,170 cost only $45, and suggests that Joe use the cheaper put.
Analyze Joe’s and Sally’s strategies by drawing the profit diagrams for the stock-plus-
put positions for various values of the stock fund in three months.
When does Sally’s strategy do better? When does it do worse?
Which strategy entails greater systematic risk?
