Free boundary value problems in mathematical finance presented by Yue Kuen Kwok Department of Mathematics December 6, 2002 * Joint work with Min Dai and Lixin Wu

Rocket science on Wall Street The volatility of stock price returns is related to the viscosity effect in molecular diffusion. The expected rate of returns is related to convective velocity. The option pricing equation is closely related to the convective diffusion equation in engineering. Brownian motion was first studies in theoretical aspects by Bachelier (1900) in the modeling of stock price movements, a few years earlier than Einstein (1905).

OPTIMAL SHOUTING POLICIES OF OPTIONS WITH RESET RIGHTS presented by Yue Kuen Kwok Hong Kong University of Science and Technology at International Conference on Applied Statistics, Actuarial Science and Financial Mathematics December 17-19, 2002 * Joint work with Min Dai and Lixin Wu

The holders are allowed to reset certain terms of the derivative contract according to some pre-specified rules. Terms that are resettable strike prices maturities Voluntary (shouting) or automatic resets; other constraints on resets may apply.

Examples 1.S & P 500 index bear market put warrants with a 3-month reset (started to trade in 1996 in CBOE and NYSE) -original exercise price of the warrant, X = closing index level on issue date -exercise price is reset at the closing index level S t on the reset date if S t > X (automatic reset) Reset-strike warrants are available in Hong Kong and Taiwan markets.

2.Reset feature in Japanese convertible bonds reset downward on the conversion price Sumitomo Banks 0.75% due 2001 Issue dateMay 96 First reset date31 May 1997 Annual reset date thereafter31 May Reset calculation period20 business day period, excluding holidays in Japan, ending 15 trading days before the reset day Calculation typeSimple average over calculation period

3.Executive stock options resetting the strike price and maturity 4.Corporate debts strong incentive for debtholders to extend the maturity of a defaulting debt if there are liquidation costs 5.Canadian segregated fund -Guarantee on the return of the fund (protective floor); guarantee level is simply the strike price of the embedded put. -Two opportunities to reset per year (at any time in the year) for 10 years. Multiple resets may involve sequentially reduced guarantee levels. -Resets may require certain fees.

Objectives of our work Examine the optimal shouting policies of options with voluntary reset rights. Free boundary value problems Critical asset price level to shout; Characterization of the optimal shouting boundary for one-shout and multi-shout models (analytic formulas, numerical calculations and theoretical analyses)

Resettable put option The strike price is reset to be the prevailing asset price at the shouting moment chosen by the holder. Shout call option Shout floor (protective floor is not set at inception) Shout to install a protective floor on the return of the asset.

Relation between the resettable put option and the shout call option Since so price of one-shout shout-call option = price of one-shout resettable put option + forward contract. Both options share the same optimal shouting policy. Same conclusion applied to multi-shout options.

Formulation as free boundary value problems Both one-shout resettable put option and one-shout shout floor become an at-the-money put option upon shouting. Price function of an at-the-money put option is SP 1 (  ), where where Linear complementarity formulation of the pricing function V(S,  )

Properties of P 1 (  ) (i)If r  q, then (ii) If r > q, then there exists a unique critical value such that and eqP1()eqP1() eqP1()eqP1() r  qr  q r > qr > q  * 1  

Price of the one-shout shout floor, R 1 (S,  ) Substituting into the linear complementarity formulation: (i)r  q so

(ii)r > q When  >, we cannot have g(  ) = P 1 (  ) since this leads to a contradiction. Hence, Solving  * 1 1  g(  P1()P1() P 1 ( )  * 1 e  q(    1

Optimal shouting policy of the shout floor does not depend on the asset price level (due to linear homogeneity in S) when, inferring that the holder should shout at once. Summary (i)r  q,   (0,  ) or (ii) r > q,    * holder should shout at once (ii)r > q,    * holder should not shout at any asset price level. 1 1

Optimal shouting boundary for the reset put option Asymptotic behavior of S * (  ) as   S * (0 + ) = X, independent of the ratio of r and q. 1 Proof 1 Note that D 1 (S,  )  0 for all  ;  S[P(  ) + qP 1 (  )]   as   0 +. Assuming S * (0 + ) > X, then for S  (X, S * (0 + )), we have 1 1 a contradiction. Financial intuition dictates that S * (0 + )  X. 1

Asymptotic behaviour of S * (  ) as    1 S*S* 1,  exists when r < q; this is linked with the existence of the limit: for r < q. Write where and (  becomes zero when r = q).

When r > q, V 1 (S,  )  R 1 (S,  ) > SP 1 (  ) for  >  *. It is never optimal to shout at  >  *. Lemma For r > q and  0 <  *, there exists a critical asset price S * (  0 ) such that V 1 (S,  0 ) = SP 1 (  0 ) for S  S * (  0 ) Integral equation for S * (  ) 1 where

Pricing formulation of the n-shout resettable put option Terminal payoff where t is the last shouting instant, 0   n. Define then * The analytic form for P n (  ), n > 1.

Properties of the price function and optimal shouting boundaries (i)r < q, S * (  ) is defined for   (0,  ) n n S * (  ) is an increasing function of  with a finite asymptotic value as   . (ii)r < q, S * (  ) is defined only for  (0,  * ), where  * is given by the solution to n n n

The behaviors of the optimal shouting boundaries of the resettable put options depends on r > q, r = q or r < q. Monotonic properties (i)an option with more shouting rights outstanding should have higher value; (ii)the holder shouts at a lower critical asset price with more shouting rights outstanding; (iii)the holder chooses to shout at a lower critical asset price for a shorter-lived option; (iv)the critical time earlier than which it is never optimal to shout increases with more shouting rights outstanding. Analytic price formula of the one-shout shout floor and integral representation of the shouting premium of the one-shout resettable put are obtained. Summaries and conclusions
