1. An Attempt at Pricing Zero-Coupon Bonds under the Vasicek Model with a Mean Reverting Stochastic Volatility Factor
University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)Abstract : Empirical evidence indicates that the volatility in asset prices is not constant, but varies over time. However, many simple models for asset pricing rest on an assumption of constancy. READ MORE

2. Investigation of portfolio strategies by means of simulation
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaperAbstract : Portfolio insurance strategies are constructed to limit an investors loss but still reward them when the market goes up. In this thesis we compare two portfolio insurance strategies, Constant proportion portfolio insurance (CPPI) and Option based portfolio insurance. READ MORE

3. Calibrating the Hull-White model using Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation
University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistikAbstract : This thesis includes a brief introduction to Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation (AAD), accompanied by numerical examples, step-by-step explanations and runtime comparisons to a finite difference method. In order to show the applicability of AAD in a stochastic setting, it is also applied in the calculation of the arbitrage free price and partial derivatives of a European call option, where the underlying stock has Geometric Brownian motion dynamics.

4. Comparison of Multivariate GARCH Models with Application to Zero-Coupon Bond Volatility
University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionenAbstract : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate different formulations of multivariate GARCH models and to apply two of the popular ones – the BEKK- GARCH model and the DCC- GARCH model – in evaluating the volatility of a portfolio of zero-coupon bonds. Multivariate GARCH models are considered as one of the most useful tools for analyzing and forecasting the volatility of time series when volatility fluctuates over time. READ MORE
