Jones是某公司的经理,获得10000股公司股票作为退休补偿金的一部分,股票现价40美元/股。Jones打算在下一纳税年度出售该股票。在元月份;他需要将其所持有的股票全部销售出去以支付其新居费用。Jones很担心继续持有股份的价格风险。按现价,他可以获得40000美元。但是如果其所持股票价格跌至35美元/股以下,他就会面临无法支付住房款项的困境。另一方面,如果股价上升至45美元/股,他就可以在付清房款后仍结余一小笔现金。Jones考虑以下三种投资策略: (1)策略A:按执行价45美元卖出该股票元月份的看涨期权,这类看涨期权现售价为3美元; (2)策略B:按执行价35美元买入该股票元月份的看跌期权,这类看跌期权现售价为3美元; (3)策略C:构建一零成本的双限期权收益策略,卖出元月份看涨期权,买入元月份看跌期权。 根据Jones的投资目标,分别评价三种策略各自的利弊是什么你认为哪一个投资策略比较适合Jones

答案

参考答案:

解析:Jones是某公司的经理,获得10000股公司股票作为退休补偿金的一部分,股票现价40美元/股。Jones打算在下一纳税年度出售该股票。在元月份,他需要将其所持有的股票全部销售出去以支付其新居费用。Jones很担心继续持有股份的价格风险。按现价,他可以获得40000美元。但是如果其所持股票价格跌至35美元/股以下,他就会面临无法支付住房款项的困境。另一方面,如果股价上升至45美元/股,他就可以在付清房款后仍结余一小笔现金。Jones考虑以下三种投资策略:
(1)策略A:按执行价45美元卖出该股票元月份的看涨期权,这类看涨期权现售价为3美元;
(2)策略B:按执行价35美元买入该股票元月份的看跌期权,这类看跌期权现售价为3美元;
(3)策略C:构建一零成本的双限期权收益策略,卖出元月份看涨期权,买入元月份看跌期权。
根据Jones的投资目标,分别评价三种策略各自的利弊是什么你认为哪一个投资策略比较适合Jones
通过卖出看涨期权,Jones获得30000美元的溢价收入。如果1月份Jones的股票价格低于或等于45美元,他将拥有股票的溢价收入。但最多他有45000美元加30000美元,因为如果股票价格高于45美元,期权的买方将会实施期权。支付结构如下:

股票价格资产组合值
低于45美元10000乘以股票价格+30000美元
高于45美元450000美元+30000美元=480000美元
  这个策略提供了额外的溢价收入,但也有很高的风险。在极端情况下,如果股票价格下降到0,Jones将只剩下30000美元。其收益也有上限,最多只有480000美元,这比支付房款还要多些。
(2)以35美元的执行价格购买股票的看涨期权,Jones将支付30000美元以确保其股票有一最低价值。这个最低价是35美元×10000美元-30000美元=320000美元。这个策略的成本是他购买看涨期权的费用。支付结构如下:
股票价格资产组合值
低于45美元350000美元-30000美元=320000美元
高于45美元10000乘以股票价格-30000美元
  (3)双限期权的净成本为0,资产组合的值如下:
股票价格资产组合值
低于45美元10000乘以股票价格+30000美元
高于45美元450000美元+30000美元=480000美元
  如果股票价格低于或等于35美元,双限期权爆竹本金。如果股票价格超过45美元, Jones的资产组合值可以达到450000美元。股票价格在两者之间,它的资产价值就为股票价格乘以10000。
  由上述分析可知,最好的投资策略是(3)。因为这既满足了保住350000美元,又有机会得到450000美元的两个要求。而策略(1)可以不考虑,因为它让Jones承受的风险太大了。因此,三个投资策略的选择顺序应该为:(3)最好;其次是(2);最差是(1)。

单项选择题

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as other’s. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.

Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality

A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task.
B. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.
C. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs.
D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.
