Put-Call Parity Essentials
|
||||
Before the creation of the Black-Scholes model, option pricing was hardly
|
||||
an exact science. Traders had only a few mathematical tools available to
|
||||
compare the relative prices of options. One such tool, put-call parity, stems
|
||||
from the fact that puts and calls on the same class sharing the same month
|
||||
and strike can have the same functionality when stock is introduced.
|
||||
For example, traders wanting to own a stock with limited risk can buy a
|
||||
married put: long stock and a long put on a share-for-share basis. The
|
||||
traders have infinite profit potential, and the risk of the position is limited
|
||||
below the strike price of the option. Conceptually, long calls have the same
|
||||
risk/reward profile—unlimited profit potential and limited risk below the
|
||||
strike. Exhibit 6.1 is an overview of the at-expiration diagrams of a married
|
||||
put and a long call.
|
||||
EXHIBIT 6.1 Long call vs. long stock + long put (married put).
|
||||
Married puts and long calls sharing the same month and strike on the
|
||||
same security have at-expiration diagrams with the same shape. They have
|
||||
the same volatility value and should trade around the same implied
|
||||
volatility (IV). Strategically, these two positions provide the same service to
|
||||
a trader, but depending on margin requirements, the married put may
|
||||
require more capital to establish, because the trader must buy not just the
|
||||
option but also the stock.
