Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods have successfully been used in many applications in engineering, statistics and physics. However, these are seldom used in financial option pricing literature and practice. This paper presents SMC method for pricing barrier options with continuous and discrete monitoring of the barrier condition. Under the SMC method, simulated asset values rejected due to barrier condition are re-sampled from asset samples that do not breach the barrier condition improving the efficiency of the option price estimator; while under the standard Monte Carlo many simulated asset paths can be rejected by the barrier condition making it harder to estimate option price accurately. We compare SMC with the standard Monte Carlo method and demonstrate that the extra effort to implement SMC when compared with the standard Monte Carlo is very little while improvement in price estimate can be significant. Both methods result in unbiased estimators for the price converging to the true value as 1/ sqrt{M}$, where $M$ is the number of simulations (asset paths). However, the variance of SMCestimator is smaller and does not grow with the number of time steps when compared to the standard Monte Carlo. In this paper we demonstrate that SMC can successfully be used for pricing barrier options. SMC can also be used for pricing other exotic options and also for cases with many underlying assets and additional stochastic factors such as stochastic volatility; we provide general formulas and references.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present efficient simulation procedures for pricing barrier options when the underlying security price follows a geometric Brownian motion with jumps. Metwally and Atiya [2002] developed a simulation approach for pricing knock-out options in the same setting, but no variance reduction was introduced. We improve upon Metwally and Atiya's method by innovative applications of well-known variance reduction techniques. We also show how to use simulation to price knock-in options. Numerical examples show that our proposed Monte Carlo procedures lead to substantial variance reduction as well as a reduction in computing time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The project investigates the prices of barrier options from the constant underlying volatility in the Black-Scholes model to stochastic volatility model in SABR framework. The constant volatility assumption in derivative pricing is not able to capture the dynamics of volatility. In order to resolve the shortcomings of the Black-Scholes model, it becomes necessary to find a model that reproduces the smile effect of the volatility. To model the volatility more accurately, we look into the recently developed SABR model which is widely used by practitioners in the financial industry. Pricing a barrier option whose payoff to be path dependent intrigued us to find a proper numerical method to approximate its price. We discuss the basic sampling methods of Monte Carlo and several popular variance reduction techniques. Then, we apply Monte Carlo methods to simulate the price of the down-and-out put barrier options under the Black-Scholes model and the SABR model as well as compare the features of these two models.

Download or read book Pricing, Loss and Sensitivity Analysis of Barrier Options Via Regression written by Andreas Gabler and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monte Carlo simulation methods for the valuation of financial instruments have become a staple of empirical economic analysis. A specific focus is dedicated to the feasibility of the stock price losses and barrier options as well as the sensitivity of partial time barrier options in dependence on their barrier values, which, to the best of our knowledge, hasn't been analysed in academic papers so far. This paper compares the performance of analytical results with empirical regression-based Monte Carlo outcomes, as proposed by Broadie et. al. (2015), where outer stage samples are used to generate financial risk factors and an inner stage simulation is applied to price the barrier options given the outer stage scenarios. Furthermore, potential correlation characteristics between portfolio pricing and loss regarding infinitesimal small changes in the underlying asset (Delta) are exhibited. Thus, a theoretical assumption approach to the explicit loss function is considered, as yet such an analytical loss function has not occurred in related literature.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Scholes Model (1973) is used to price and hedge plain vanilla barrier options on a non dividend paying asset. Under this model, Monte Carlo Simulation, Stratified sampling, Simpson's rule, Trapezoidal rule and Antithetic variable techniques have been used to determine the value and hedging portfolio of a plain vanilla barrier option. Also stochastic dynamic programming has been developed so as to determine the price and hedging portfolio of the option. Finally the methods are compared to each other in terms of accuracy. It is found that stratified sampling technique is the best method after comparing with other methods.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work we develop a methodology to reduce the variance when applying Monte Carlo simulation to the pricing of a European, American or Barrier option in a stochastic volatility environment. We begin by presenting some applicable concepts in the theory of stochastic differential equations. Secondly, we develop the model for the evolution of an asset price under constant volatility. We next present the replicating portfolio and equivalent martingale measure approaches to the pricing of a European style option. Modeling an asset price utilizing constant volatility has been shown to be an inefficient model[8,16]. One way to compensate for this inefficiency is the use of stochastic volatility models, which involves modeling the volatility as a function of a stochastic process[26]. A class of these models is presented and a discussion is given on how to price European options in this framework. After developing the methods of how to price, we begin our discussion on Monte Carlo simulation of European options in a stochastic volatility environment. We start by describing how to simulate Monte Carlo for a diffusion process modeled as a stochastic differential equation. The essential element to our variance reduction technique, which is known as importance sampling, is hereafter presented. Importance sampling requires a preliminary approximation to the expectation of interest, which we obtain by a fast mean-reversion expansion of the pricing partial differential equation[22,6]. A detailed discussion is given on this fast mean-reversion expansion technique, which was first presented in [10]. We shall compare utilizing this method of expansion with that developed in [11], which is know as small noise expansion, and demonstrate numerically the efficiency of the fast mean-reversion expansion, in particular in the presence of a skew. We next wish to apply our variance reduction technique to the pricing of an American and barrier option. A discussion is given on how to price.
