This thesis examines how the basis risk affects property derivative hedging in the UK market, based on the tracking error (basis risk) report from the Investment Property Forum study in 2007 (the IPF Study). The thesis first analyzes the risks relevant to hedging and defines the basis risk. Considering hedgers with different objectives measure hedging efficiency differently, this thesis divides the hedging users into two major categories: β-Avoidance hedgers and a-Usage hedgers. Each of these has two sub-ordinate groups. In order to quantify the basis-risk influences on hedging, a Monte Carlo simulation designed for short contract of the swap is used. Basis risks of portfolios with different sizes are selected from the IPF Study. To shed light on different hedging uses, three scenarios are tested based on different assumptions on the expected alpha and leverage. Other relevant elements are also studied, such as the price of the debt and the swap. The analysis results in a useful reference for investors who are interested in eliminating portfolio risks with hedging strategies. In the end, the thesis suggests avenues for the further study. by Jia Ma.
