17 Forward contract risk - where it goes? 0 Buyer S T +( S T K) = K Dealer +0 ( S T K) (K S T ) = 0 0 Seller + S T +(K S T ) = K When it comes to the buyer, the seller, and the dealer both the buyer and the seller pay a fixed fee to the dealer, the buyer pays a fixed price of K, the seller receives a fixed price of K, the dealer s risky positions offset each other.
18 Option contract risk - where it goes? c Buyer S T +max(0, S T X ) = c min( S, X ) Dealer + c + p max(0, S T X ) max(0, X S T ) = +c +p S T X p Seller + S T +max(0, X S T ) = p+max( S, X ) When it comes to the buyer, the seller, and the dealer both the buyer and the seller pay the option price to the dealer, the buyer pays either a fixed price of X or a lower market price, the seller receives either a fixed price of X or a higher market price, the dealer stays with a risky position of S T X, which can be considered as a liability in the balance sheet!
