This presentation discusses dynamic asset allocation strategy and portfolio insurance. It begins by defining dynamic asset allocation as a strategy that continuously revises the proportions of a portfolio between an underlying asset and riskless asset to insure the portfolio's value and reduce fluctuation risks. The document then outlines the process of dynamic asset calculation, makes assumptions about the investment amounts and market data, and selects 10 companies across various sectors. It shows the portfolio returns and standard deviations for different quarters. The rest of the presentation calculates portfolio values using 100% equity, 50% risky/50% risk-free asset allocations, and determines put and call option values to calculate insured portfolio values and asset allocations on a quarterly basis. It concludes that dynamic asset allocation using
4. Dynamic Asset Allocation
A strategy where manager replicates an option through continuously revising the
proportions of a portfolio consisting of the underlying asset and the riskless asset
to insure portfolio’s value.
The general premise of dynamic asset allocation is to reduce the fluctuation risks
and achieve returns that exceed the target benchmark.

10. 100% Equity Portfolio
As the initial investment is Tk. 1,000,000 so multiplying by the up factor value of up
can be made and multiplying by the down factor value of portfolio down can be
determined.

Up factor, u = eσ√t
Down Factor, d = 1/u
The up factor and down factor for each quarter are as follows:

This strategy tells the idea of investing 50% of the taka 10, 00,000 in risky assets
and rest in the risk free asset, T-bill

14. 50% Investment in Risk Free Assets
50% of the initial amount has been allowed for risk free investment in the T-bill. T-
bill rate of 91 days varies among the quarters in the year.

15. P value calculation
Through the determination of probability of the up and down value of put option, the
put option value can be calculated. Now for probability calculation the following
formula has been used:
Probability for up node, P = (a-d)/(u-d)
Probability for down node (1-P)
Here, a= er∆t
u d a p (1-p)

18. Delta calculation
The number of units of the underlying portfolio that must be held long at any given
moment will be given by the call option “Delta”, the reciprocal of how many calls it takes
to hedge the unit of the underlying portfolio. The call delta tells us the number of units
of the underlying portfolio to hold.
20. Allocation of the Portfolio
Initial amount of investment is 10,00,000 tk. I have allocated 100% equity
in Dynamic Asset Allocation. I have started dynamic allocation by using
insured portfolio of put option as our initial insured portfolio. Then from
each quarter I have calculated the insured portfolio by multiplying the
100% equity with the call Delta of the previous quarter. If that present
quarter’s delta is greater than that of previous quarter I have bought
stocks and T-bills have been sold of the same amount. Then by multiplying
the 100% equity of each quarter with that present quarter delta I have got
how much equity to hold in our new portfolio and the rest to hold T-bills. I
have allocated the equity and T-bills in each quarter continuously in this
way.
27. Conclusion
Portfolio insurance provides a way out how the risk can be minimized using the
replications of options. This strategy has been proved worthy of using for specially
risk averse investors.
Delta value has been important to hold the number of risky assets. Then, we can
determine the holding of investment in T bill as rest of the investment happens in
the stock.
