Comparing Synthetic Calls and Puts
|
||||
The common thread among the synthetic positions explained above is that,
|
||||
for a put-call pair, long options have synthetic equivalents involving long
|
||||
options, and short options have synthetic equivalents involving short
|
||||
options. After accounting for the basis, the four basic synthetic option
|
||||
positions are:
|
||||
Because a call or put position is interchangeable with its synthetic
|
||||
position, an efficient market will ensure that the implied volatility is closely
|
||||
related for both. For example, if a long call has an IV of 25 percent, the
|
||||
corresponding put should have an IV of about 25 percent, because the long
|
||||
put can easily be converted to a synthetic long call and vice versa. The
|
||||
greeks will be similar for synthetically identical positions, too. The long
|
||||
options and their synthetic equivalents will have positive gamma and vega
|
||||
with negative theta. The short options and their synthetics will have
|
||||
negative gamma and vega with positive theta.
