Abstract

ABSTRACT We consider the equity and Bund futures as financial instruments to hedge standard 5Y iTraxx Europe Main and Crossover indexes. Our analysis is based on a four-month intraday time series for traded prices and quoted spreads, respectively. We find that a DAX futures based intraday hedging strategy is the most efficient one. While the cross-asset hedging strategy reduces the intraday market risks of iTraxx Europe positions, the overall hedging efficiency is limited.
