Delta hedging in situation of predictable jump I.


e are assuming that the price of some underlying asset is given by MATH and we are considering a derivative $V_{t}$ that may jump in value depending on some Cox process $N_{t}.$ The drift $\mu$ , volatility $\sigma$ , intensity of the Cox process $dN$ and the size of the jump $\left[ V\right] $ are all functions of $S_{t}$ . So this is a Markovian situation with the MATH being the state.

We form a portfolio MATH where $U$ is another derivative. In reality we would, of course, sell the derivative $V$ and hedge it with the underlying $S$ and more liquid derivative $U$ : MATH However, the result would be the same and our unnatural way keeps expressions symmetrical.

We calculate the differential MATH and choose the $\alpha$ and $\beta$ to remove both sources of randomness: MATH We solve for the $\alpha,\beta:$ MATH MATH MATH For such $\alpha,~\beta$ we have MATH MATH MATH Note that the expression on the LHS only depends on the function $V$ while the expression on the RHS only depends on $U$ . The functions $U$ and $V$ are not related. Therefore, both parts of the equation do not, in fact, depend on $U$ or $V$ . We conclude that there is a function $\phi,$ depending on the state, such that MATH The probabilistic meaning of the above equation is provided in the section ( Backward_equation_for_jump_diffusion ).
