hard · FRM Part 1 Valuation and Risk Models
An options trader is long an at-the-money European call option that is very close to expiration.
Which of the following best describes the risks associated with the option's Greeks in this specific scenario?
- Gamma and Theta are both extremely high (in absolute terms), making the delta-hedge unstable and the time decay rapid.
- Vega is at its peak, making the position highly sensitive to changes in implied volatility.
- Delta is near 1.0, meaning the option behaves exactly like the underlying stock.
- Rho is the dominant Greek, as interest rate sensitivity increases as time to maturity decreases.
