Abstract

Equity-linked securities with a guaranteed return gain popularity in financial market. The contract depends on the performance of a basket of equity components averaged over a certain period, and also guarantees the investor a minimum return. This paper presents a new method for valuing the guaranteed equity-linked securities. We compute the security's price, corresponding hedge ratios, and risk sensitivities. The model appears to be accurate over a wide range of underlying security parameters, based on numerical studies.
