568 Part V: Index Options and Futures
|
||||
Recall how these items are calculated: The number of shares of a stock in the
|
||||
index is that stock's float divided by the divisor of the index. Also, the percent of the
|
||||
index is the stock's capitalization (float times price) divided by the total capitalization
|
||||
of the index (this is step 1 above). Finally, the index value is the index's total capital
|
||||
ization divided by the index divisor.
|
||||
With this information, we can now construct a mini-index that could be used to
|
||||
hedge the UVX itself. Notice that these four stocks alone comprise 28.4% of the
|
||||
entire UVX index. We would want each of these four stocks to have the same relative
|
||||
weight within our mini-index as they do within the UVX itself. The sum of the capi
|
||||
talizations of the four stocks in the above table as well as their relative percentages
|
||||
are given in the following table.

|

XON 34,000,000 5.7% 20.1%
|
||||
GE 31,500,000 5.3% 18.6%
|
||||
GM 25,500,000 4.3% 15.1%
|
||||
Total: 169,000,000 28.4% 100.0%
|
||||
The percent of the mini-index is each of the four stocks' capitalizations as a per
|
||||
cent of the sum of their capitalizations (step 2 from above). There are two ways to
|
||||
compute step 2. First, for IBM one would divide 78 million (its capitalization) by 169
|
||||
million (the total capitalization). Second, using the percentages from step 1, divide
|
||||
IBM's percent, 13.1, by 28.4, the total percent. Either method gives the answer of
|
||||
46.2 percent. We have now constructed the relative percentages of the mini-index
|
||||
that each stock comprises. Note that they are in the same relationship to each other
|
||||
as they are in the UVX itself. Now it is a simple matter to convert that percent into
|
||||
shares of stock, once we decide how many futures contracts to trade against our mini
|
||||
index.
|
||||
When we know the total dollar amount of futures to hedge and we know the
|
||||
percent of the mini-index that each stock comprises, we can compute each stock's
|
||||
capitalization within the mini-index. Finally, we divide by that stock's price to see how
|
||||
many shares of each stock to buy. Assume that we are going to use UVX options,
|
||||
which are worth $100 per point, in lots of 50 options. The total dollar amount of the
|
||||
index with the UVX at 170.25 would then be $851,250 (170.25 x 100 x 50). This
|
||||
accomplishes step 3. The following table shows the calculations necessary to deter
|
||||
mine how many shares of stock to buy against these 50 option contracts.
