Approximate Method for Mean-Variance Hedging Strategy with Model Risk
摘要
This paper studies an approximate method for computing optimal hedging strategies in the mean-variance hedging problem with model risk. Matsumoto and Suyama (Applied Mathematical Finance, 31(6), 365–384, 2024) used deep learning to compute mean-variance hedging strategies under model risk, but encountered increasing computational complexity as the number of periods increased. To address this issue, we propose a new approximate method within deep learning that reduces the computational complexity. We perform numerical validation to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approximation by analyzing hedging strategies and hedging errors over shorter periods. We also highlight the necessity of performing approximate computations as the number of periods increases. Finally, we examine methods for adjusting delta-hedging strategies in the continuous-time model, confirming the validity of the proposed approximate method.
