This book was released on 2013 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of a number of structurally different methods to numerically evaluate European compound option prices under Heston's stochastic volatility dynamics. Therefore, we first outline several approaches that can be used to price these type of options in the Heston model: a modified sparse grid method, a fractional fast Fourier transform technique, a (semi-)analytical valuation formula using the Green's function of logarithmic spot and volatility and a Monte Carlo simulation. Then we compare the methods on a theoretical basis and report on their numerical properties with respect to computational times and accuracy. One key element of our analysis is that the analyzed methods are extended to incorporate piecewise time-dependent model parameters, which allows for a more realistic compound option pricing.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • The first ever explicit formulation of the concept of an option's probability density functions has been introduced in our publications "Breakthrough in Understanding Derivatives and Option Based Hedging - Marginal and Joint Probability Density Functions of Vanilla Options -- True Value-at-Risk and Option Based Hedging Strategies" and "Complete Analytical Solution of the Asian Option Pricing and Asian Option Value-at-Risk Problems. A Probability Density Function Approach." (See links 'http://ssrn.com/abstract=2489601' http://ssrn.com/abstract=2489601 and 'http://ssrn.com/abstract=2546430' http://ssrn.com/abstract=2546430). • In this paper we report similar unique results for pricing options in the presence of stochastic volatility (Heston model), enabling complete analytical resolution of all problems associated with options considered within the Heston Model. • Our discovery of the probability density function for options with stochastic volatility enables exact closed-form analytical results for their expected values (prices) for the first time without depending on approximate numerical methods and a Fourier transform that only abbreviates complex numerical integration procedure. • Expected value is the first moment. All higher moments are as easily represented in closed form based on our probability density function, but are not calculable by extensions of other numerical methods, such as a Fourier transform, now used to represent the first moment. • Our formulation of the density function for options with stochastic volatility within the Heston model is expressive enough to enable derivation for the first time ever of corollary closed-form analytical results for such Value-At-Risk characteristics as the probabilities that options with stochastic volatility will be below or above any set of thresholds at termination. Such assessments are absolutely out of reach of current published methods for treating options within the Heston model.• All numerical evaluations based on our analytical results are practically instantaneous and absolutely accurate.

Book Synopsis The Evaluation of American Compound Option Prices under Stochastic Volatility Using the Sparse Grid Approach by : Carl Chiarella
Download or read book The Evaluation of American Compound Option Prices under Stochastic Volatility Using the Sparse Grid Approach written by Carl Chiarella and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compound option (the mother option) gives the holder the right, but not obligation to buy (long) or sell (short) the underlying option (the daughter option). In this paper, we demonstrate a partial differential equation (PDE) approach to pricing American-type compound options where the underlying dynamics follow Heston's stochastic volatility model. This price is formulated as the solution to a two-pass free boundary PDE problem. A modified sparse grid approach is implemented to solve the PDEs, which is shown to be accurate and efficient compared with the results from Monte Carlo simulation combined with the Method of Lines.
Book Synopsis Pricing Options Under Heston's Stochastic Volatility Model Via Accelerated Explicit Finite Differencing Methods by : Conall O'Sullivan
Download or read book Pricing Options Under Heston's Stochastic Volatility Model Via Accelerated Explicit Finite Differencing Methods written by Conall O'Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present an acceleration technique, effective for explicit finite difference schemes describing diffusive processes with nearly symmetric operators, called Super-Time-Stepping (STS). The technique is applied to the two-factor problem of option pricing under stochastic volatility. It is shown to significantly reduce the severity of the stability constraint known as the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition whilst retaining the simplicity of the chosen underlying explicit method. For European and American put options under Heston's stochastic volatility model we demonstrate degrees of acceleration over standard explicit methods sufficient to achieve comparable, or superior, efficiencies to a benchmark implicit scheme. We conclude that STS is a powerful tool for the numerical pricing of options and propose them as the method-of-choice for exotic financial instruments in two and multi-factor models.
Book Synopsis Advanced Option Pricing Models by : Jeffrey Owen Katz
Download or read book Advanced Option Pricing Models written by Jeffrey Owen Katz and published by McGraw-Hill. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Advanced Option Pricing Models" details specific conditions under which current option pricing models fail to provide accurate price estimates and then shows option traders how to construct improved models for better pricing in a wider range of market conditions. Model-building steps cover options pricing under conditional or marginal distributions, using polynomial approximations and "curve fitting," and compensating for mean reversion. The authors also develop effective prototype models that can be put to immediate use, with real-time examples of the models in action.
Book Synopsis Efficient Option Pricing in the Rough Heston Model Using Weak Simulation Schemes by : Christian Bayer
Download or read book Efficient Option Pricing in the Rough Heston Model Using Weak Simulation Schemes written by Christian Bayer and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We provide an efficient and accurate simulation scheme for the rough Heston model in the standard (H > 0) as well as the hyper-rough regime (H > -1/2). The scheme is based on low-dimensional Markovian approximations of the rough Heston process derived in [Bayer and Breneis, arXiv:2309.07023], and provides weak approximation to the rough Heston process. Numerical experiments show that the new scheme exhibits second order weak convergence, while the computational cost increases linear with respect to the number of time steps. In comparison, existing schemes based on discretization of the underlying stochastic Volterra integrals such as Gatheral's HQE scheme show a quadratic dependence of the computational cost. Extensive numerical tests for standard and path-dependent European options and Bermudan options show the method's accuracy and efficiency.
Book Synopsis Pricing American Options in the Heston Model by : Peter Ruckdeschel
Download or read book Pricing American Options in the Heston Model written by Peter Ruckdeschel and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We introduce a refined tree method to compute option prices using the stochastic volatility model of Heston. In a first step, we model the stock and variance process as two separate trees and with transition probabilities obtained by matching marginal tree moments up to order two against the Heston model ones. The correlation between the driving Brownian motions is then incorporated by a node-wise adjustment of the probabilities. This adjustment, leaving the marginals fixed, optimizes the match between tree and model correlation. In some nodes, we are even able to further match moments of higher order. Numerically this gives convergence orders faster than 1/N, where N is the number of discretization steps. Accuracy of our method is checked for European option prices against a semi closed-form, and our prices for both European and American options are compared to alternative approaches.

But the VBA routines in this book elevate Excel to an industrial-strength financial engineering toolbox. I have no doubt that it will become hugely successful as a reference for option traders and risk managers." —Peter Christoffersen, Associate Professor of Finance, Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University "This book is filled with methodology and techniques on how to implement option pricing and volatility models in VBA. The book takes an in-depth look into how to implement the Heston and Heston and Nandi models and includes an entire chapter on parameter estimation, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone interested in derivatives should have this book in their personal library." —Espen Gaarder Haug, option trader, philosopher, and author of Derivatives Models on Models "I am impressed. This is an important book because it is the first book to cover the modern generation of option models, including stochastic volatility and GARCH." —Steven L. Heston, Assistant Professor of Finance, R.H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland
Book Synopsis Financial Modelling by : Joerg Kienitz
Download or read book Financial Modelling written by Joerg Kienitz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial modelling Theory, Implementation and Practice with MATLAB Source Jörg Kienitz and Daniel Wetterau Financial Modelling - Theory, Implementation and Practice with MATLAB Source is a unique combination of quantitative techniques, the application to financial problems and programming using Matlab. The book enables the reader to model, design and implement a wide range of financial models for derivatives pricing and asset allocation, providing practitioners with complete financial modelling workflow, from model choice, deriving prices and Greeks using (semi-) analytic and simulation techniques, and calibration even for exotic options. The book is split into three parts. The first part considers financial markets in general and looks at the complex models needed to handle observed structures, reviewing models based on diffusions including stochastic-local volatility models and (pure) jump processes. It shows the possible risk-neutral densities, implied volatility surfaces, option pricing and typical paths for a variety of models including SABR, Heston, Bates, Bates-Hull-White, Displaced-Heston, or stochastic volatility versions of Variance Gamma, respectively Normal Inverse Gaussian models and finally, multi-dimensional models. The stochastic-local-volatility Libor market model with time-dependent parameters is considered and as an application how to price and risk-manage CMS spread products is demonstrated. The second part of the book deals with numerical methods which enables the reader to use the models of the first part for pricing and risk management, covering methods based on direct integration and Fourier transforms, and detailing the implementation of the COS, CONV, Carr-Madan method or Fourier-Space-Time Stepping. This is applied to pricing of European, Bermudan and exotic options as well as the calculation of the Greeks. The Monte Carlo simulation technique is outlined and bridge sampling is discussed in a Gaussian setting and for Lévy processes. Computation of Greeks is covered using likelihood ratio methods and adjoint techniques. A chapter on state-of-the-art optimization algorithms rounds up the toolkit for applying advanced mathematical models to financial problems and the last chapter in this section of the book also serves as an introduction to model risk. The third part is devoted to the usage of Matlab, introducing the software package by describing the basic functions applied for financial engineering. The programming is approached from an object-oriented perspective with examples to propose a framework for calibration, hedging and the adjoint method for calculating Greeks in a Libor market model. Source code used for producing the results and analysing the models is provided on the author's dedicated website, http://www.mathworks.de/matlabcentral/fileexchange/authors/246981.

Book Synopsis Mathematical Modeling And Computation In Finance: With Exercises And Python And Matlab Computer Codes by : Cornelis W Oosterlee
Download or read book Mathematical Modeling And Computation In Finance: With Exercises And Python And Matlab Computer Codes written by Cornelis W Oosterlee and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 1310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the interplay of stochastics (applied probability theory) and numerical analysis in the field of quantitative finance. The stochastic models, numerical valuation techniques, computational aspects, financial products, and risk management applications presented will enable readers to progress in the challenging field of computational finance.When the behavior of financial market participants changes, the corresponding stochastic mathematical models describing the prices may also change. Financial regulation may play a role in such changes too. The book thus presents several models for stock prices, interest rates as well as foreign-exchange rates, with increasing complexity across the chapters. As is said in the industry, 'do not fall in love with your favorite model.' The book covers equity models before moving to short-rate and other interest rate models. We cast these models for interest rate into the Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework, show relations between the different models, and explain a few interest rate products and their pricing.The chapters are accompanied by exercises. Students can access solutions to selected exercises, while complete solutions are made available to instructors. The MATLAB and Python computer codes used for most tables and figures in the book are made available for both print and e-book users. This book will be useful for people working in the financial industry, for those aiming to work there one day, and for anyone interested in quantitative finance. The topics that are discussed are relevant for MSc and PhD students, academic researchers, and for quants in the financial industry.Supplementary Material:Solutions Manual is available to instructors who adopt this textbook for their courses.

Download or read book Financial Modeling Under Non-Gaussian Distributions written by Eric Jondeau and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-04-05 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines non-Gaussian distributions. It addresses the causes and consequences of non-normality and time dependency in both asset returns and option prices. The book is written for non-mathematicians who want to model financial market prices so the emphasis throughout is on practice. There are abundant empirical illustrations of the models and techniques described, many of which could be equally applied to other financial time series.
