Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 企業管理系 === 91 === The idea of portfolio insurance is to reshape the return distribution so as to reduce the downside risk and retain a certain part of the upward gain. The strategies cannot be fulfilled without an appropriate hedging tool, and TAIEX options provide the investors with a choice. This paper has investigated the performance of three portfolio insurance strategies (CPPI, TIPP and B&H) that used TAIEX option as the adjustment tools during the period of 01/02/2002 to 03/19/2003. The results are as following:(1) the three strategies can achieve insurance effect. The best insurance effect that uses TAIEX call option as the adjustment tools is TIPP (3,70), and its return is 14.55% (12/19/2002 — 03/19/2003). On the other hand, the put option part is CPPI (1,70), and its return is 60.92% (06/20/2002 — 09/18/2002). (2) the discontinuous TAIEX option prices cause the failed insurance.
