Abstract

I show how funding costs to derivatives dealers' shareholders for carrying and hedging inventory affect mid-market derivatives prices. An implication is that some supposed "no-arbitrage" pricing relationships, such as put-call parity, frequently break down. I also explore the implications for measuring the term structure of S&P 500 dividend risk premia.

Keywords: Financial Intermediation, funding costs, term structure of dividend risk premia
