The aim of the work in this context is to compare the effectiveness of delta hedging using options on the WIG20.

Findings – Based on the research it can be stated an increase in the effectiveness of the delta hedging associated with the development of the Polish option market. Originality/Value – The results of the research point out that despite the still low liquidity of the Polish option market, qualitative changes improve the effectiveness of the use of options in hedging.
