public class LocalRiskMinimizingHedgePortfolio
extends AbstractAssetMonteCarloProduct

This class implements a mean variance hedged portfolio of a given product (a hedge simulator). The hedge is done using a given model, that is, the model generating the states and the model used to calculate the hedge portfolio may be different!
WARNING: If the model used for calculating the delta is "slow" (e.g., a Monte-Carlo simulation) then the calculation might take very long.

Constructor Details

LocalRiskMinimizingHedgePortfolio

public LocalRiskMinimizingHedgePortfolio(AbstractAssetMonteCarloProduct productToHedge,
 AssetModelMonteCarloSimulationModel modelUsedForHedging,
 TimeDiscretization timeDiscretizationForRebalancing,
 int numberOfBins)

Construction of a variance minimizing hedge portfolio.

Parameters:

productToHedge - The financial product for which the hedge portfolio should be constructed.

modelUsedForHedging - The model used for calculating the hedge rations (deltas). This may differ from the model passed to getValue.

timeDiscretizationForRebalancing - The times at which the portfolio is re-structured.

numberOfBins - The number of bins to use in the estimation of the conditional expectation.
