Static hedging of European claim.


e are seeking static replication of the function MATH with a linear combination of the functions MATH defined in the previous section. Using the results ( Recovery of implied distribution ) we write MATH for some number $K_{0}$ . We perform integration by parts to move the derivatives to the function $h$ : MATH To simplify the boundary terms we derive the put-call parity for function $C$ and $P$ : MATH where the MATH is the forward price of $X_{t}$ . We also note that we separated the values of $k$ and use the out-of-money contracts so that the extreme boundary terms would vanish. We simplify the boundary terms as follows: MATH MATH

MATH MATH We conclude

MATH (static replication formula)
This result is model-independent.
