Book Synopsis Multiscale Stochastic Volatility for Equity, Interest Rate, and Credit Derivatives by : Jean-Pierre Fouque
Download or read book Multiscale Stochastic Volatility for Equity, Interest Rate, and Credit Derivatives written by Jean-Pierre Fouque and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building upon the ideas introduced in their previous book, Derivatives in Financial Markets with Stochastic Volatility, the authors study the pricing and hedging of financial derivatives under stochastic volatility in equity, interest-rate, and credit markets. They present and analyze multiscale stochastic volatility models and asymptotic approximations. These can be used in equity markets, for instance, to link the prices of path-dependent exotic instruments to market implied volatilities. The methods are also used for interest rate and credit derivatives. Other applications considered include variance-reduction techniques, portfolio optimization, forward-looking estimation of CAPM 'beta', and the Heston model and generalizations of it. 'Off-the-shelf' formulas and calibration tools are provided to ease the transition for practitioners who adopt this new method. The attention to detail and explicit presentation make this also an excellent text for a graduate course in financial and applied mathematics.
Book Synopsis Modelling and Simulation of Stochastic Volatility in Finance by : Christian Kahl
Download or read book Modelling and Simulation of Stochastic Volatility in Finance written by Christian Kahl and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous Black-Scholes model was the starting point of a new financial industry and has been a very important pillar of all options trading since. One of its core assumptions is that the volatility of the underlying asset is constant. It was realised early that one has to specify a dynamic on the volatility itself to get closer to market behaviour. There are mainly two aspects making this fact apparent. Considering historical evolution of volatility by analysing time series data one observes erratic behaviour over time. Secondly, backing out implied volatility from daily traded plain vanilla options, the volatility changes with strike. The most common realisations of this phenomenon are the implied volatility smile or skew. The natural question arises how to extend the Black-Scholes model appropriately. Within this book the concept of stochastic volatility is analysed and discussed with special regard to the numerical problems occurring either in calibrating the model to the market implied volatility surface or in the numerical simulation of the two-dimensional system of stochastic differential equations required to price non-vanilla financial derivatives. We introduce a new stochastic volatility model, the so-called Hyp-Hyp model, and use Watanabe's calculus to find an analytical approximation to the model implied volatility. Further, the class of affine diffusion models, such as Heston, is analysed in view of using the characteristic function and Fourier inversion techniques to value European derivatives.
Book Synopsis Model Calibration for Financial Derivatives by : Frederic Abergel
Download or read book Model Calibration for Financial Derivatives written by Frederic Abergel and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Model calibration strategies and techniques for derivative products The calibration of derivatives has evolved significantly, covering new ground like implied volatility surface static and dynamics, first and higher-generation exotics calibration, local and stochastic volatility models, interest rates or multi-asset correlation modeling, default time modeling, credit derivatives, and more. This book introduces the fundamentals of model calibration by taking an intuitive approach to the Black, Scholes, and Merton and revisiting it in an incomplete markets setting, applying to a range of hedging strategies.
Book Synopsis The Volatility Surface by : Jim Gatheral
Download or read book The Volatility Surface written by Jim Gatheral and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for The Volatility Surface "I'm thrilled by the appearance of Jim Gatheral's new book The Volatility Surface. The literature on stochastic volatility is vast, but difficult to penetrate and use. Gatheral's book, by contrast, is accessible and practical. It successfully charts a middle ground between specific examples and general models--achieving remarkable clarity without giving up sophistication, depth, or breadth." --Robert V. Kohn, Professor of Mathematics and Chair, Mathematical Finance Committee, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University "Concise yet comprehensive, equally attentive to both theory and phenomena, this book provides an unsurpassed account of the peculiarities of the implied volatility surface, its consequences for pricing and hedging, and the theories that struggle to explain it." --Emanuel Derman, author of My Life as a Quant "Jim Gatheral is the wiliest practitioner in the business. This very fine book is an outgrowth of the lecture notes prepared for one of the most popular classes at NYU's esteemed Courant Institute. The topics covered are at the forefront of research in mathematical finance and the author's treatment of them is simply the best available in this form." --Peter Carr, PhD, head of Quantitative Financial Research, Bloomberg LP Director of the Masters Program in Mathematical Finance, New York University "Jim Gatheral is an acknowledged master of advanced modeling for derivatives. In The Volatility Surface he reveals the secrets of dealing with the most important but most elusive of financial quantities, volatility." --Paul Wilmott, author and mathematician "As a teacher in the field of mathematical finance, I welcome Jim Gatheral's book as a significant development. Written by a Wall Street practitioner with extensive market and teaching experience, The Volatility Surface gives students access to a level of knowledge on derivatives which was not previously available. I strongly recommend it." --Marco Avellaneda, Director, Division of Mathematical Finance Courant Institute, New York University "Jim Gatheral could not have written a better book." --Bruno Dupire, winner of the 2006 Wilmott Cutting Edge Research Award Quantitative Research, Bloomberg LP

Book Synopsis Financial Models in Production by : Othmane Kettani
Download or read book Financial Models in Production written by Othmane Kettani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-16 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a hands-on guide to how financial models are actually implemented and used in practice, on a daily basis, for pricing and risk-management purposes. It shows how to put these models into use in production while minimizing the cost of implementation and maximizing robustness and control. Addressing some of the most important and cutting-edge issues, it describes how to build the necessary models in order to risk manage all the costs involved in options fabrication within the world of equity derivatives and hybrids. This is achieved by extending classical models and improving them in order to account for complex features. The book is primarily aimed at market practitioners (traders, risk managers, risk control, top managers), as well as Masters students in Quantitative/Mathematical Finance. It will also be useful for instructors hoping to enrich their courses with practical examples. The prerequisites are basic stochastic calculus and a general knowledge of financial markets and financial derivatives.
Book Synopsis Market Practice In Financial Modelling by : Chia Chiang Tan
Download or read book Market Practice In Financial Modelling written by Chia Chiang Tan and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-07-11 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written to bridge the gap between foundational quantitative finance and market practice, this book goes beyond the basics covered in most textbooks by presenting content concerning actual industry norms, thus resulting in a clearer picture of the field for the readers.

Book Synopsis Emerging Financial Derivatives by : Jerome Yen
Download or read book Emerging Financial Derivatives written by Jerome Yen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exotic options and structured products are two of the most popular financial products over the past ten years and will soon become very important to the emerging markets, especially China. This book first discusses the products' recent development in the world and provides comprehensive overview of the major products. The book also discusses the risks of issuing and buying such products as well as the techniques to price them and to assess the risks. Volatility is the most important factor in determining the return and risk. Therefore, significant part of the book's content discusses how we can measure the volatility by using local and stochastic volatility models — Heston Model and Dupire Model, the volatility surface, the term structure of volatility, variance swaps, and breakeven volatility. The book introduces a set of dimensions which can be used to describe structured products to help readers to classify them. It also describes the more commonly traded exotic options with details. The book discusses key features of each exotic option which can be used to develop structured products and covers their pricing models and when to issue such products that contain such exotic options. This book contains several case studies about how to use the models or techniques to price and hedge risks. These case analyses are illuminating.
Book Synopsis Pricing Models of Volatility Products and Exotic Variance Derivatives by : Yue Kuen Kwok
Download or read book Pricing Models of Volatility Products and Exotic Variance Derivatives written by Yue Kuen Kwok and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-05-08 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pricing Models of Volatility Products and Exotic Variance Derivatives summarizes most of the recent research results in pricing models of derivatives on discrete realized variance and VIX. The book begins with the presentation of volatility trading and uses of variance derivatives. It then moves on to discuss the robust replication strategy of variance swaps using portfolio of options, which is one of the major milestones in pricing theory of variance derivatives. The replication procedure provides the theoretical foundation of the construction of VIX. This book provides sound arguments for formulating the pricing models of variance derivatives and establishes formal proofs of various technical results. Illustrative numerical examples are included to show accuracy and effectiveness of analytic and approximation methods. Features Useful for practitioners and quants in the financial industry who need to make choices between various pricing models of variance derivatives Fabulous resource for researchers interested in pricing and hedging issues of variance derivatives and VIX products Can be used as a university textbook in a topic course on pricing variance derivatives
Book Synopsis Pricing Derivatives in Stochastic Volatility Models Using the Finite Difference Method by :
Download or read book Pricing Derivatives in Stochastic Volatility Models Using the Finite Difference Method written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heston stochastic volatility model is one extension of the Black-Scholes model which describes the money markets more accurately so that more realistic prices for derivative products are obtained. From the stochastic differential equation of the underlying financial product a partial differential equation (p.d.e.) for the value function of an option can be derived. This p.d.e. can be solved with the finite difference method (f.d.m.). The stability and consistency of the method is examined. Furthermore a boundary condition is proposed to reduce the numerical error. Finally a non uniform structured grid is derived which is fairly optimal for the numerical result in the most interesting point.

Book Synopsis Volatility Models in Option Pricing with Empirical Analysis in The Chinese Market by : Jun Yue
Download or read book Volatility Models in Option Pricing with Empirical Analysis in The Chinese Market written by Jun Yue and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, financial derivatives play an increasingly important role in the global financial system, and options are popular structural financial derivatives, which attract much attention from academia and the industry. China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX) initiated the CSI 1000 index future and CSI 1000 index option in the Chinese market on July 22, 2022, which indicates a trend of acceleration in financial innovations in China's financial market. This dissertation focuses on the volatility models in option pricing and modern numerical procedures that approximate option prices. In this dissertation, different stochastic volatility models, for example, the Black-Scholes model and the Heston stochastic volatility model, are introduced and applied to price in not only European options but also exotic options, which possess complicated payoff structures. Moreover, a comprehensive empirical analysis is conducted to demonstrate these option pricing algorithms based on the recent data of CSI 1000 index options in the Chinese market.
