Deep Gamma Hedging
We train neural networks to learn optimal replication strategies for an option when two replicating instruments are available, namely the underlying and a hedging option. If the price of the hedging option matches that of the Black--Scholes model then we find the network will successfully learn the Black-Scholes gamma hedging strategy, even if the dynamics of the underlying do not match the Black--Scholes model, so long as we choose a loss function that rewards coping with model uncertainty. Our results suggest that the reason gamma hedging is used in practice is to account for model uncertainty rather than to reduce the impact of transaction costs.

A deep BSDE approach for the simultaneous pricing and delta-gamma hedging of large portfolios consisting of high-dimensional multi-asset Bermudan options
A deep BSDE approach is presented for the pricing and delta-gamma hedging of high-dimensional Bermudan options, with applications in portfolio risk management. Large portfolios of a mixture of multi-asset European and Be…
Gamma and Vega Hedging Using Deep Distributional Reinforcement Learning
We show how D4PG can be used in conjunction with quantile regression to develop a hedging strategy for a trader responsible for derivatives that arrive stochastically and depend on a single underlying asset. We assume th…

We apply rough-path theory to study the discrete-time gamma-hedging strategy. We show that if a trader knows that the market price of a set of European options will be given by a diffusive pricing model, then the discret…
Hedging with Small Uncertainty Aversion
We study the pricing and hedging of derivative securities with uncertainty about the volatility of the underlying asset. Rather than taking all models from a prespecified class equally seriously, we penalise less plausib…
On the difference between locally risk-minimizing and delta hedging strategies for exponential L\'evy models
We discuss the difference between locally risk-minimizing and delta hedging strategies for exponential L\'evy models, where delta hedging strategies in this paper are defined under the minimal martingale measure. We give…
