Abstract: German 'Pfandbriefe', issued by German Mortgage Banks and backed by loans to the public sector or first mortgages, inhabit a huge volume of outstanding issues which contrasts sharply with a lack of adequate hedging instruments. The invention of a 'Pfandbrief' Future will attract new investors to this important segment of the German bond market and further enhance liquidity. Our research focusses on the hedging performance of a simulated Future contract. In a quantitative study we investigate first how well an already existing Future on mid-term German government bonds (socalled 'Bundesobligationen') is suited for hedging 'Pfandbrief' portfolios. The exact specification of a Future contract on German Pfandbriefe is still a matter of discussion between experts which has forced us to make judicious assumptions about its design. This enables us to simulate Future prices and compare its hedging quality for 'Pfandbriefe' with that of the Future on 'Bundesobligationen'. Simulation results which indicate a superior hedging performance of the new Future contract may provide a crucial argument in favour of launching the new product.
