The Efficient Hedging Frontier with Deep Neural Networks
The trade off between risks and returns gives rise to multi-criteria optimisation problems that are well understood in finance, efficient frontiers being the tool to navigate their set of optimal solutions. Motivated by the recent advances in the use of deep neural networks in the context of hedging vanilla options when markets have frictions, we introduce the Efficient Hedging Frontier (EHF) by enriching the pipeline with a filtering step that allows to trade off costs and risks. This way, a trader's risk preference is matched with an expected hedging cost on the frontier, and the corresponding hedging strategy can be computed with a deep neural network. We further develop our framework to improve the EHF and find better hedging strategies. By adding a random forest classifier to the pipeline to forecast market movements, we show how the frontier shifts towards lower costs and reduced risks, which indicates that the overall hedging performances have improved. In addition, by designing a new recurrent neural network, we also find strategies on the frontier where hedging costs are even lower.

Hedging on the Frontier: Learning New Tasks with Few Samples
When a learner faces a new task with few samples, it must leverage any available side information. In practice, this often comes in the form of model evaluations on related tasks in public benchmarks. A key question then…
Transfer LearningHow Does Risk Hedging Impact Operations? Insights from a Price-Setting Newsvendor Model
If a financial asset's price movement impacts a firm's product demand, the firm can respond to the impact by adjusting its operational decisions. For example, in the automotive industry, car makers decrease the selling p…
Option Hedging with Risk Averse Reinforcement Learning
In this paper we show how risk-averse reinforcement learning can be used to hedge options. We apply a state-of-the-art risk-averse algorithm: Trust Region Volatility Optimization (TRVO) to a vanilla option hedging enviro…
