    Abstract : All financial institutions that provide options to counterparties will in most cases get involved withMonte Carlo simulations. Options with a payoff function that depends on asset’s value at differenttime points over its lifespan are so called path dependent options. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modeling implied correlation matrices using option prices

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Sofie Eklund; Randa Estaifo; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the process of calculating a fair value it is preferable to price the asset from observable market data. Some assets are valued using variables which can not be directly observed in the market but are instead implied from observable market data. One such variable is the correlation between assets.

  5. 4. Combinatorial and price efficient optimization of the underlying assets in basket options

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Sara Alexis; [2017]
    Keywords : Option pricing; correlated stochastic processes; Basket option; moment matching; lognormal approximation; binary nonlinear optimization; continuous nonlinear optimization; Monte Carlo simulation; penalty methods;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to develop an optimization model that chooses the optimal and price efficient combination of underlying assets for a equally weighted basket option. To obtain a price efficient combination of underlying assets a function that calculates the basket option price is needed, for further use in an optimization model. READ MORE
