The Effect of Moneyness on Vega
|
||||
Like the other greeks, vega is a snapshot that is a function of multiple facets
|
||||
of determinants influencing option value. The stock price’s relationship to
|
||||
the strike price is a major determining factor of an option’s vega. IV affects
|
||||
only the time value portion of an option. Because ATM options have the
|
||||
greatest amount of time value, they will naturally have higher vegas. ITM
|
||||
and OTM options have lower vega values than those of the ATM options.
|
||||
Exhibit 2.13 shows an example of 186-day options on AT&T Inc. (T),
|
||||
their time value, and the corresponding vegas.
|
||||
EXHIBIT 2.13 AT&T theos and vegas (T at $30, 186 days to Expry, 20%
|
||||
IV).
|
||||
Note that the 30-strike calls and puts have the highest time values. This
|
||||
strike boasts the highest vega value, at 0.085. The lower the time premium,
|
||||
the lower the vega—therefore, the less incremental IV changes affect the
|
||||
option. Since higher-priced stocks have higher time premium (in absolute
|
||||
terms, not necessarily in percentage terms) they will have higher vega.
|
||||
Incidentally, if this were a $300 stock instead of a $30 stock, the 186-day
|
||||
ATMs would have a 0.850 vega, if all other model inputs remain the same.
