When will Hedges be Ineffective
1. When portfolio significantlyunderperforms the Index
The hedges will protect only to the extent the Index falls. If the portfoliocrasheswhile Index is stable the
hedges wouldbe ineffective
2. If there is slow and steady fall in Index
If for example the index falls about 5% every monthandwe are using 5% OTMPuts to hedge then on each
expiry these puts expire worthless andprovide no protection. The PUTs usually helpin case of sharpcrashes
to the extent of the hedged portfolio.We might not be hedged at all in case the market crashes fromfairor
inexpensive valuations.
